The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI) on Wednesday named its international program director Alexa Tonkovich as its new executive director, to replace Michael Cerne.
Tonkovich joined ASMI in 2009 as the Asia and emerging markets program manager and became the international program director in 2013. The announcement was made at a dinner reception at the organization's All-Hands meeting in Anchorage.
Cerne resigned his position as the group’s executive director abruptly in July, less than three years after taking the post, and his predecessor Ray Riutta was called out of retirement to serve as the interim director until a replacement was found.
