Land-based startup appoints former Kingfish CEO Maiman chairman
Florida-based land-based startup Pine Island Redfish on Wednesday named Ohad Maiman, former founder and CEO of The Kingfish Company, as chairman of its board of directors. Pine Island is building a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) land-based facility to raise red drum, also known as redfish. Pine Island Redfish acquired a 150-acre property towards the southern part of Pine island, Florida. The site is secure and fully permitted, according to Pine Island CEO Megan Sorby, who served as Kingfish Maine’s operations manager during Maiman’s tenure as Kingfish CEO.
