Seafood AI Platform Nammu Hires Former Seattle Fish Co. CEO as Strategic Advisor
Nammu, a Boston-based AI platform for the seafood industry, appointed Derek Figueroa as a strategic advisor. Figueroa previously served as CEO of Seattle Fish Co., one of the largest seafood distributors in the United States.
The company, founded in 2024, positions itself as the first AI platform built specifically for seafood operations. The hire signals Nammu's effort to embed industry expertise into its leadership as it expands in a sector where operational knowledge remains critical.
Figueroa's background in running a major distributor gives him direct experience with the supply chain challenges that Nammu's platform aims to address. His appointment suggests the company is moving beyond pure technology to build credibility with seafood businesses evaluating new tools.
The move follows a broader pattern in the seafood industry of bringing in experienced operators to guide technology companies. Recent hires at competing firms have included former executives from aquaculture companies and specialty distributors.
