Therese Log Bergjord, who has served as CEO of Skretting since 2017, has made a personal decision to step down this summer. She will be succeeded by Bastiaan van Tilburg, who is currently Managing Director for Trouw Nutrition Europe and Central Asia. He will officially start his new role on June 1, 2024.
Skretting has grown under Therese’s unique brand of leadership over the past seven years, with sales volumes increasing during her tenure. She has led the team through difficult times – including the Covid-19 pandemic and raw material challenges – while maintaining an unwavering focus on innovation and sustainability. Above all she has inspired and touched Skretting’s people through her integrity and passion for aquaculture.
“After seven years in Nutreco I came to the decision that it was time for a change. I have headed up Skretting for this period and it has been a privilege. I have enjoyed every part of it; my exceptional colleagues, our innovation capabilities and the entrepreneurial culture we are so proud of. I am truly grateful for the support and cooperation with my colleagues in the Management Board and across Nutreco and SHV. My main focus now is to secure a proper handover to Bastiaan,” says Therese.

“Therese’s genuine interest in people and her positive leadership style have always stood out to me and it’s clear that she has built a very strong and closely connected team, and a culture of collaboration. Also, as a recognized leader in the aqua industry Therese has helped Skretting to be the reference brand in the market. She will be deeply missed, but she leaves the company in a very solid state and with a bright future ahead,” says Bastiaan. “For me it’s an immense honour and great pleasure to follow in Therese’s footsteps. I feel a tremendous responsibility to build on her legacy.”
