According to his LinkedIn profile, his tenure at Hima Seafood, a Norwegian company currently developing a land-based trout farm in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina, provided him with a foundation for managing large-scale aquaculture operations.
Before that, McElwee was an operations manager at Ideal Fish in Connecticut and an aquaculture consultant with Aqua99-LLC.
McElwee’s professional journey also includes nearly five years as the global sales manager for commercial aquaculture at Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems, a company that exited the aquaculture industry in 2019.
He is expected to implement strategic initiatives to enhance productivity and sustainability in trout farming.
Troutlodge is a division of Hendrix Genetics, a Dutch firm that operates globally in multi-species genetics and specializes in animal breeding and technology.
