Leading smoked and cured seafood producer Acme Smoked Fish Corp. has confirmed that its current Chief People & Sustainability Officer, Rob Snyder, has officially assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
The news came to light in July 2025, when it was announced that the incoming Chief Executive Officer would take over from the previous CEO, Eduardo Carbajosa. Acme Smoked Fish also announced in the same release that Carbajosa was retiring after nearly two decades of leadership.
Additionally, Snyder served as President of the Island Institute in Rockland, Maine, and therefore brings more than 20 years of experience in the seafood and food industries.
"Over the past six months, I've worked closely with our leadership team to position Acme for growth and operational excellence. 2026 will be a year of value realization, as we leverage recent investments in technology, people, and infrastructure to navigate a fast-changing marketplace. I'm honored to take the helm at this important moment in Acme's long history," expressed the new CEO.
For his part, Carbajosa began his career at Acme in 2007 as Chief Financial Officer. He has helped strengthen the company’s financial foundation, expand its production capacity, and lead transformative growth both in the United States and in international markets, according to a company statement.
"He leaves behind a remarkable legacy, and we thank him for his many contributions. As we look to the future, Rob's values-driven leadership, operational expertise, and passion for our people and products make him the ideal person to guide Acme into its next chapter," concluded David Caslow, Chairman and member of Acme's founding family.
