The company, which produces award-winning humane stunning systems for aquaculture producers, said, in a release, that MacLeod’s appointment would “support [the company’s] global growth strategy.”
MacLeod brings two decades of experience in financial leadership across the technology, construction, energy, and oil and gas sectors. His most recent role was at N4 Partners, a Glasgow-headquartered investment firm. Prior to his time at N4, MacLeod was CFO at Allrig.
