BERGEN, NORWAY. SEPTEMBER 09, 2024 - Tidal, an innovator in AI-powered solutions for aquaculture, announces the appointment of Anders Fossøy as its new General Manager for Norway.  

With over 15 years of experience in sales, marketing, and leadership roles, Fossøy brings a deep understanding of the aquaculture industry and the Norwegian market. His recent experience at Aquabyte, where he focused on innovative software solutions for sustainable food production, provides him with extensive relevant experience to apply to Tidal on its path of growth in Norway.  

In his new role, Fossøy will leverage his deep understanding of the Norwegian market to spearhead Tidal's efforts to support fish farmers in their transition toward technology adoption, with increased insights enabling more informed decision making and new value creation.

“I am excited about the mission and product, and I am eager to work alongside the Tidal team on its path toward becoming a crucial partner for fish farmers as they adopt data driven decision-making and achieve fish welfare and sustainability goals. I look forward to contributing to the further development of the Norwegian market”, shares Fossøy.  

Tidal's CEO, Rajesh Jadhav, expresses enthusiasm about Anders joining the team: “Anders' extensive experience and passion for sustainable and welfare-focused aquaculture make him an ideal fit for Tidal. We are confident that his leadership will be instrumental in accelerating our path to scale our positive impact in Norway, a key market for the aquaculture industry.”

The company recently spun out of Google parent company Alphabet’s moonshot factory, with funding from several investors, including Norwegian Ichthus Venture Capital (IVC), backed by Kverva. Tidal has a mission to empower fish farmers with data-driven insights for operational efficiency, value creation, and environmental stewardship.
