Scotland-based Ace Aquatec announced that Alan MacLeod is its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). A senior executive with more than 20 years of experience, in the release announcing the appointment, the company said he comes to support its global growth strategy.
In those two decades of financial leadership positions in the technology, construction, energy, and oil and gas sectors, MacLeod held, among others, the position of Chief Financial Officer and Board member at Allrig, where he completed several successful sales and realised additional asset sales internationally. Most recently, he served as a Director within the advisory section of investment firm N4 Partners.
The company noted that the new CFO comes on board at a time when demand for humanely harvested fish and accurate data on average weight, distribution, and growth trends continues to increase.
Global supplier of welfare-first aquaculture solutions using science and innovation to drive sustainable, welfare-focused aquaculture practices, Ace Aquatec continues to expand its global presence and, in addition to broading its presence in Europe by opening new markets such as Spain, its systems are also being implemented in other new territories such as Chile, Asia and North America.
"Joining Ace Aquatec at such a pivotal time in its growth journey is incredibly exciting. The company's commitment to innovation and ethical aquaculture is something I deeply admire, and I'm eager to contribute to its continued success," Alan MacLeod said, commenting on his appointment.
"As demand for sustainable solutions rises worldwide, I see immense potential to expand our impact while ensuring financial resilience. I look forward to working with the team to drive smart, strategic growth and cement Ace Aquatec's position as a global leader in this space," the new CFO continued.
For his part, Nathan Pyne-Carter, CEO of Ace Aquatec, said McLeod's extensive experience in financial leadership across multiple sectors makes him an invaluable addition to the team.
"As we continue to scale globally, his strategic insight will help us navigate new markets and sustain our momentum. His track record in driving international growth aligns perfectly with our ambitions, and I look forward to working closely with him to shape the future of Ace Aquatec," Pyne-Carter concluded.
