Glenn Cooke: His growth plans, his disdain for private equity, and the reason he wears that baseball cap

Ok. Let’s get this out of the way right now.

Glenn Cooke, CEO of one of the world’s most successful seafood companies, is usually seen in public wearing a baseball cap.

It’s a bit quirky for the head of a CAD 2.4 billion ($1.9 billion/€1.7 billion) global seafood conglomerate that employs 10,000 people, but as you might expect, he has a good reason for donning the "everyman" apparel.

“I come from fishing. I come from working. I come from farming, and I am ready to work at all times,” he said, explaining the reason for the wardrobe choice.
