Fernando Villarroel leaves Cermaq

Fernado Villarroel, the COO of Cermaq Canada, has decided to return to Chile after working abroad for 10 years.

"It is with regret that I have accepted the resignation from Fernando Villarroel," says CEO Geir Molvik. Villarroel has been with Cermaq for 19 years. He will remain as COO in Canada until end April this year.

"It has been a privilege to work for Cermaq Group for almost 20 years… Leaving the company was one of the most difficult decisions of my professional career but as a family, we have decided that is time to return to Chile," says Villarroel. "I leave Cermaq at a point in time when the operations in Canada are sound, there is a strong organisation in place and the results are best ever."
