We are extremely pleased to announce that Senior Business Executive, Joseph Rosenberg, and Lucy Perkins of Systems Entrepreneurs Advisors have joined O2’s Board of Directors.

These two bring an amazing mix of expertise in finance, business development, governance and social change to support O2’s mission.

Joe Rosenberg is a senior executive with nearly 20 years of experience across multiple industries. He was most recently Co-President of CenSea, a leading North American seafood wholesaler, where he drove profitability and a successful sale of the company. Prior to his leadership role in seafood, Joe held several positions in the finance industry, with companies including Nasdaq, Bridgewater Associates, Barclays, and Lehman Brothers.

Joe brings extensive governance expertise to Ocean Outcomes, having contributed to strategic planning and oversight on advisory committees for seafood and educational nonprofits. He previously served on the National Seafood Council Task Force and National Leadership Council for the Seafood Nutrition Partnership, as well as the Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative's Partners Council and the Blockchain Working Committee of the National Fisheries Institute.

"The health of our oceans is deeply interconnected with the well-being of the people who rely on them. I am honored to support O2 in its mission to ensure equity, sustainability, and resilience for all fisheries stakeholders." - Joe Rosenberg

Lucy Perkins is Co-Founder of Systems Entrepreneurs Advisors, a global expert group focused on social entrepreneurship. She is a strategic and financial advisor to citizen and business sector organizations internationally. Over the prior two decades, Lucy Perkins served as a Leadership Group Member at Ashoka.

Lucy adds extensive strategic, social innovation and finance expertise to O2’s Board. Prior to Ashoka, she spent seven years in equity and project finance in Asia, first with the International Finance Corporation/World Bank and then with Emerging Markets Partnership, a US$7 billion infrastructure-focused global equity investment firm.

“What a privilege to work with O2 now as its impact takes off. The challenges are big, but O2 is well-positioned to make a real difference for the oceans and for all of us who depend on the oceans.” - Lucy Perkins

Welcome Joe & Lucy — we are thrilled to have you join us!

We also wish to thank Charlie Brown, Valerie Craig and Susan Ruffo for their dedicated service to the O2 Board.

While we are excited at the continued diversified growth of O2’s Board, we also want to acknowledge the tremendous contributions of some of our founding Board members. Charlie, Valerie and Susan transitioned out of their roles as Board members in 2024. We cannot thank these individuals enough for devoting their time, energy and impressive expertise to O2’s organizational growth and development during these formative years. It has been a great first decade of progress at O2 and we are looking forward to what’s to come in the next 10 years.
