Since joining Proximar’s Board in 2022, he has been instrumental in various strategic decisions.

Throughout his career, Halseth has held prominent roles at major aquaculture companies. At Nutreco, he served as Chief Innovation Officer, driving technological advancements and industry standards. His tenure also includes executive leadership at Skretting, where he spearheaded operations as CEO of both Skretting Norway and the broader Skretting Group, cementing his reputation as a transformational leader in the sector.

The transition will remain in place until the company’s next General Meeting, at which point shareholders will have the opportunity to formally confirm or adjust the board composition. This leadership change reflects Proximar’s commitment to leveraging deep industry expertise at the board level during a pivotal time for the aquaculture sector.
