The chief operating officer of Alaska salmon processor Silver Bay Seafoods has left the group for newly acquired Peter Pan Seafood Company, marking another major C-suite departure for the group in the past six months.

Silver Bay Seafoods CEO Cora Campbell told IntraFish Jon Hickman left the company Jan. 5.

"We appreciate everything Jon contributed to building Silver Bay into the company it is today, and we wish him all the best," Campbell said.

Hickman has been with Silver Bay Seafoods for over a decade.
