With ambitious goals to reshape the mammoth Russian pollock industry and strengthen its image both home and abroad, Buglak does not shy away from a challenge.
IntraFish: How did you enter the seafood industry and why? What drew you to it as a career?
Alexey Buglak: I can confess that it happened by chance. In 2008 I was doing some project management work for an oil transport infrastructure development project. The PCA [Pollock Catchers' Association] Chairman who I knew since my time in the Primorsky Government offered me to join the PCA, and set some ambitious goals.
