Tell us about yourself

I'm a specialist with 14 years of experience at Hayduk, a leading fishing company in Peru. Currently, I hold the position of Commercial Director, where I oversee sales and exports of fishmeal, fish oil, and frozen products, in addition to contributing to research, development, and strategic planning.


Why are you running for the Board of Directors?

I am interested in joining the GOED board because of my deep commitment to advancing the omega-3 market. As a Commercial Director at Pesquera Hayduk, a leading fishery in Peru, I have been directly involved in the production and commercialization of high-quality omega-3-rich fish oil. My 15 years of experience in this sector have provided me with in-depth knowledge of the industry, from supply chain management to market dynamics and regulatory challenges. Being in Peru, a country with abundant marine resources, I understand the importance of sustainable practices in the fishing industry, especially as the global demand for omega-3 continues to grow. I believe that my unique perspective on the Latin American market, combined with my expertise in navigating the complexities of international trade, could provide valuable insights for the GOED board. I am passionate about the opportunities that lie ahead for omega-3 producers, particularly in the areas of innovation, sustainability, and consumer education. By joining the GOED board, I aim to contribute to the organization’s mission of fostering collaboration among stakeholders, ensuring the highest standards for omega-3 products, and expanding market reach. Ultimately, my goal is to help shape the future of the omega-3 market in ways that benefit both producers and consumers, and I see serving on the GOED board as a strategic step toward achieving this.
