High Liner Foods on Tuesday announced Paul Jewer will replace Kelly Nelson as CFO.
Nelson will retire from the company following its annual general meeting in May and will work with Jewer until then to ensure a smooth transition.
Jewer most recently served as CFO for Canadian grocery and food distributor Sobeys. He began his career with Ernst & Young and held a number of senior finance positions in the technology sector.
“On behalf of the board, I would like to extend our thanks to Kelly for over 30 years of outstanding service to High Liner Foods,” said David Hennigar, High Liner chairman. “The company was fortunate to have benefited from Kelly’s financial expertise and dedication, which have contributed greatly to its growth and success. We want to congratulate Kelly on his outstanding career with High Liner and wish him all the best in his retirement.”
“I am pleased to welcome Paul to the Company and confident that with his credentials and experience, our shareholders will continue to receive the same high level of financial management and reporting they have come to expect from High Liner,” said CEO Henry Demone.
