Bergen, Norway: 08 January 2026

Seafood People, the management consulting and executive recruitment firm dedicated to the global seafood industry, is pleased to announce that Marianne Gaedicke has joined the firm as a Senior Advisor, overseeing growth initiatives in the Chilean market while supporting broader global projects.

Based in Chile, Ms. Gaedicke brings more than 26 years of experience across aquaculture, fisheries, and international seafood trade.

For the past 24 years, she served as General Manager of IntraFish Media Chile and Key Account Manager for the Americas, where she led strategic operations and commercial development across the Americas and Europe. Her work focused heavily on marketing strategy, international communications, and building long-term industry partnerships within this leading global seafood media organization.

“I built deep, long-term relationships and industry friendships during my two decades with IntraFish Media,” said Gaedicke. “As that chapter came to a close, I was looking for a role that aligned naturally with my background and how I’ve approached my career. After many years in the seafood and aquaculture industries, Seafood People felt like the organization where my experience, relationships, and long-term industry knowledge could have the greatest impact.”

Thomas Bakke, Managing Director of Seafood People, added: “Chile’s seafood industry is dynamic and continues to evolve. While we have supported multiple recruitment and consulting assignments in the region, we saw a clear opportunity to deepen our presence with the right leadership on the ground. I am thrilled that Marianne has joined us to help lead this effort and look forward to this exciting next phase of growth for our firm.”
