The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute is excited to announce Stephen Gerike has joined the team as the new Foodservice National Accounts Representative as of July 1, 2018. In his new role, Stephen will lead efforts to partner with foodservice operators to reach seafood “super-consumers” in the foodservice segment/channel.
During his twenty-five-year career in foodservice marketing, Stephen honed his culinary skills as a classically trained chef, and has stayed involved in the evolution of food culture and trends. He has been a guest chef at the James Beard House for the past two years and has built relationships with both the nation’s leading and emerging chefs. He has worked on menu and recipe development for independent and chain restaurants as well as national food festivals. Stephen’s background as a culinary and protein specialist, as well as his work with national restaurant chains, brings valuable knowledge to the ASMI team.
