Andres Lyon is stepping down as CEO of Chilean salmon producer and processor Multiexport Foods.

He will be replaced by Cristian Swett Pla, who spent 11 years at Multiexport between 2001 and 2012 working his way up from sales manager in Japan to CEO of the company's foods division.

Swett rejoins Multiexport from dairy products company Manuka, where he worked for just under five years.
