TUF is the parent company of Thai Union International, of which Chicken of the Sea is a subsidiary.

"Having worked in the seafood industry in numerous sales, marketing and financial positions for more than 13 years, Shue Wing brings unparalleled industry expertise that can be applied to the continued growth of the Chicken of the Sea brand," said TUF president Thiraphong Chansiri.

"Chicken of the Sea has a long history of innovation and providing products that meet consumers' ever-increasing demand for quality, healthy and convenient seafood, and Shue Wing will continue this tradition," Thiraphong said in a statement issued earlier this week by Chicken of the Sea International.

Chan said Chicken of the Sea had a strong foundation on which to build.

"The strength and quality of the Chicken of the Sea brand and its sales, marketing and management teams, coupled with the infrastructure of Thai Union, poise our company for continued growth, and I look forward to building upon these factors," he said.

Chan replaces John Signorino, who announced his resignation on October 31, citing intentions to travel and spend time with his family. Signorino said he was pleased to hand the business to Chan, with whom he has worked over the last three years.

"Under Signorino's leadership, the Chicken of the Sea brand had a concentrated effort to increase sales, introduced new products, built the brand and educated consumers about the health benefits of Chicken of the Sea products. For this and his other efforts, we thank him," said Chansiri.

In his role as executive director and chief financial officer at TUF, Chan managed overall business development and financial operations, including day-to-day matters related to financial administration and business performance.

He was responsible for managing the development and implementation of business plans and financial strategies for the expansion of TUF's business. In addition, Chan communicated with shareholders, fund managers and security analysts on the company's strategy, policy and performance.
