Ben North
Ben holds the position of Director of Portfolio and Innovation Strategy at PHARMAQ, the aquaculture health business of Zoetis. Ben has worked for PHARMAQ since 2008 and held a variety of technical and commercial roles, including 7 years as the Country Manager of PHARMAQ’s UK business. In 2017 Ben moved across full time to PHARMAQ’s Oslo-based R&D organisation as R&D Portfolio Director, before taking on the current role in 2020, which is focused on delivering an overarching innovation strategy across the continuum of care for aquaculture health.
Before joining PHARMAQ, Ben worked as a post-doctorate researcher at the Stirling University, where he also undertook his PhD. The focus of Ben’s research was investigating the impact of husbandry factors such as stocking density and water quality on fish welfare. This research identified operational welfare indicators for fish in commercial aquaculture systems and generated welfare indices by combining a range of objective indicators. Ben also holds a BSc in Marine Biology, an MSc in Aquaculture and in 2018 completed an Executive MBA program at Warwick Business School.
