East Coast Seafood Group on Tuesday named Bob Blais its new CEO as part of a planned 2021 transition and the next step in its strategic growth plan.
Outgoing CEO Brad Hudson, who assumed the top executive role in 2018, will remain an active member of the board of directors, the company sad.
Blais, a seafood industry veteran, has been with East Coast Seafood Group's affiliate company, Seatrade, since 1998.
He worked closely with the company's founders and was promoted to Seatrade's chief financial officer and treasurer before the company was sold to East Coast Seafood in 2012.
