Analise Gonzales, the director of specialty brands with Trident Seafoods Corp., has been elected to the board of directors of SeaShare, a nonprofit based on Bainbridge Island, Wash. that provides seafood to food banks nationwide.
Her appointment, which was announced on Feb. 13, is the latest change in leadership of the 501(c)(3) organization, founded in 1994.
In January, SeaShare announced the August retirement of Jim Harmon, who has served as executive director for 23 years. Global marketing executive Hannah Lindoff of the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute was named to succeed Harmon.
In a statement, Gonzales said she was honored to join the SeaShare board.
“As someone who is an omega (healthy fats) enthusiast, I am genuinely thrilled to contribute to SeaShare’s mission, and to highlight the nutritional value, versatility and sustainability of seafood,” she said.
Gonzales, who grew up in a fishing family, began working for Trident Seafoods in 2018. She leads the company’s strategy and development for their specialty human and pet health products, and has a professional background in sales, training and marketing with Allergan Pharmaceuticals and Target Corp.
