New Hires and Moves

Greg Burgess, President of Stavis Seafoods ◊ In a bit of a departure from Stavis business tradition, which typically sees Richard Stavis performing as both the president and CEO of Stavis Seafoods, the American seafood company has tapped Greg Burgess to assume half of those duties. It was announced in early June that Burgess would take over as president of Stavis Seafoods, with Stavis continuing on as CEO while also functioning as a director of sales for the Boston-based company.

“Greg is an important addition to our management team,” Stavis said of Burgess in a the statement. “I have great confidence in his abilities and expertise. Greg's industry and management experience will help build the business for the future.”
