Barbara Fiske started her career as an associate buyer at US seafood supplier Gorton's, working her way up to region business manager and has been integral to the company's increasing focus on supply chain integrity.

IntraFish: How did you enter the seafood industry and why? What drew you to it as a career?

Barbara Fiske: Unlike many, I had little connection to this industry prior to my career at Gorton’s. It all began several years ago when I graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Supply Chain and Information Systems.
