Ace Aquatec hires new finance chief
Experienced executive will be an invaluable addition to aquaculture supplier's team, says CEO
Dundee-based aquaculture technology company Ace Aquatec has appointed Alan MacLeod as its chief financial officer (CFO) to support its global growth strategy.
MacLeod has more than 20 years’ experience in various financial leadership roles across technology, construction, energy and oil and gas settings, most recently as director within the advisory section of investment firm N4 Partners.
Prior to N4 Partners, MacLeod was chief financial officer and board director at Allrig where he completed several successful sales and realised additional asset sales internationally.
Ace Aquatec, which produces an in-water fish stunner for humane slaughter and an AI-assisted cage camera system for fish farmers, said the CFO is joining as demand for humanely harvested fish and accurate data about average weight, distribution, and growth trends soar. The firm also continues to grow its global presence as its systems are deployed in new territories including Chile, Asia, and North America.
Immense potential
“Joining Ace Aquatec at such a pivotal time in its growth journey is incredibly exciting,” said MacLeod. “The company’s commitment to innovation and ethical aquaculture is something I deeply admire, and I’m eager to contribute to its continued success.
“As demand for sustainable solutions rises worldwide, I see immense potential to expand our impact while ensuring financial resilience.”
Chief executive Nathan Pyne-Carter said: “Alan’s wealth of experience in financial leadership across multiple industries makes him an invaluable addition to our team. As we continue to scale globally, his strategic insight will help us navigate new markets and sustain our momentum. His track record in driving international growth aligns perfectly with our ambitions."
