WILL GREENWOOD, NEW MANAGING DIRECTOR OF MARITECH NORTH AMERICA

Will Greenwood, new Managing Director of Maritech North America. Greenwood (46) has been a part of the Maritech Halifax team since 2017, working closely with Canadian and US seafood companies as a Senior ERP Consultant. Prior to Maritech, he spent 18 years in the field of automotive ERP.

“I am thrilled to be taking on this new role,” Greenwood says. “We have a strong global team, highly innovative solutions, and a unique opportunity. I believe that Maritech has huge potential in North America, as we are the only company in the world that is offering a complete cloud platform tailored for seafood processes. The first implementations started 1.5 years ago, and we see an extremely positive trend. A major advantage is that our software is adaptable to all kinds of seafood companies, from large to small the software can be tailored to the customer no matter what their size is. Different modules are specific to the different kinds of companies throughout the seafood value chain, such as traders, fishermen, processors, and aquaculture companies. Everything is built according to best-of-breed methodology, in Microsoft Azure, and the users can now easily access their systems anytime, anywhere.”

“Our ambition is to revolutionize the seafood industry,” he continues. “The experience from our recent cloud software implementations, such as Grieg Seafood in both Norway and Canada, proves that we are very well-positioned to lead the digital transition of the entire seafood value chain. It is great to see how our new solutions are welcomed in the market, new companies are contacting us now to see how we can help them work more efficiently, generate more revenue, and be more sustainable.”

Greenwood says that being a part of Maritech feels like home:

“I can honestly say that I am looking forward to going to work every day. And our team is amazing. We get up in the morning to make a difference, innovating together with our customers. And we really enjoy being in such a growth mode, fuelled by strong owners who are willing to invest in our success. To give an example – last year, Maritech hired 26 new employees – so far this year, the number is 24. Two of the most recent are new consultants in Halifax and Seattle, and I believe that we are now 16 nationalities in 5 countries.

Next up are several additional hires here in Nova Scotia, and we are also looking for more new talent across North America. We need new colleagues in several kinds of roles; developers, consultants, and sales representatives, to give a few examples. So do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in joining the leading and fastest-growing seafood software team in the world. We would love to hear from you!”
