Handy Seafood hired longtime Clear Springs Foods executive Don Riffle as its new executive vice president of sales and marketing, the company announced Tuesday.

Riffle has nearly four decades of experience in the seafood industry, and recently retired from his post as executive vice president of sales and marketing at Clear Springs. He's served on Handy's advisory board for the past two years.

"I am extremely excited about working with Todd Conway, the recently appointed CEO and President of Handy Seafood, and Handy’s excellent sales and operations team," Riffle said.
