Over-the-counter listed company Andfjord Salmon named 34-year-old Martin Rasmussen as CEO to lead the land-based salmon facility located in Andoya, Norway.

The young CEO was poached from an executive role in French-owned Primex Norway, a whitefish processing company.

However, he isn't a stranger to the Andfjord management, having held a seat in the company's board already.

Rasmussen takes over from founder and largest shareholder of the company, Roy Bernt Pettersen, who founded the company in 2014.
