The Rwanda-based aquaculture company Kivu Choice has hired Olivier De Vreese as its new Director of Operations. This new addition will provide innovative solutions and energy to the team, as expressed by Founder & CEO Kamran Heinrich Ahmad in a LinkedIn post.
The new director has more than 10 years of experience in environmental technologies and renewable energy areas in East and West Africa.
"Having spent seven years working with the largest retail solar business in Africa, most recently as Group Operations Director, he played a pivotal role in managing and expanding the company’s extensive operations across the African continent," Ahmad added.
Also, De Vreese posted: "Kivu Choice is on a mission to democratize access to animal protein and enhance food security through sustainable fish farming in Rwanda. I’m truly excited to work alongside a passionate team committed to driving impact, increasing the availability of healthy, high-quality fish protein, and supporting the communities we serve."
In late June, Kivu Choice welcomed Sonny Francisco as its new Director of Aquaculture.
Kivu Choice is a vertically integrated aquaculture company based in Rwanda with associated feed mills, hatchery, cage production, distribution, and sales outlets. Founded in late 2021, and now producing over 500 thousand fish meals a month, it is Africa's fastest-growing fish farm and the largest protein producer in Rwanda.
Its mission is to democratize access to animal protein by radically increasing affordability and supply across the region. It owns one of the largest hatcheries in Africa with a current fingerling (baby fish) production capacity of over 5 million pieces a month.
Kivu Choice is the sister company to Victory Farms, the largest aquaculture platform in East Africa, based in Kenya.
