LUNENBURG, N.S. The Board of Directors at High Liner Foods has selected Paul Jewer to serve as interim CEO. Jewer, who has served as the company’s Chief Financial Officer since February 2014, will lead the company during its transition period while the Board of Directors completes a comprehensive search for a president and CEO to succeed Rod Hepponstall, who recently resigned.

“Paul’s extensive experience and proven track record of leadership with High Liner Foods will provide stability and continuity for the organization as we continue to work through the transition process,” says Robert Pace, Chair of the Board of Directors. “The Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interests of the company to put in place interim executive management that can serve as long as needed, and we are fully confident in Paul’s ability to lead the organization during this important chapter in the company’s history.”

“I am humbled and honoured to serve as the interim Chief Executive Officer of this incredible organization,” says Jewer. “I look forward, in this interim period, to working with our great leadership group to build upon the solid foundation and momentum we have in place.”
