Santa Monica Seafood CEO Roger O’Brien has announced that Dave Litle was hired on as senior vice president of business development, to be effective on 30 April.
Litle left Santa Monica in January 2017 to pursue “other personal career goals,” according to the company. Prior to leaving he spent 10 years with the company as its senior vice president of sales and marketing.
“Since Dave was one of our senior leaders for 10 years, he knows Santa Monica Seafood and we know the leadership skills and strategic thinking he brings to the table,” O’Brien said. “Dave is extremely well-known not just within the seafood industry but also with major retailers, national buying groups and restaurant groups. Dave will need minimal onboarding to reposition himself on the company’s leadership team and should be able to hit the ground running. We’re very happy to welcome Dave back as a key member of our team.”
Most recently, Litle served as the senior director of business development at Chicken of the Sea Frozen Foods, and has 28 years of experience in the food and beverage industry.
