Zoe Christiansen
I have a background in Theatre and Arts. In 2011 I started working with seaweed and started The Northern Company. I wanted to be directly involved in changing our common perspective around food, how this affects our culture and the climate. I develop recipes and design communication strategies for our products.
Nina Sahraou
I have a background in culture and communication and have worked in the restaurant industry for 10 years. This year I was a proud member of the Seaweed Processing Team! I helped making sure the seaweed is top quality and well packed! I also contribute with ideas on product development.
Pia Ve Dahlen
Marine biologist and underwater person. I spend my days trying to convince and educate the public about the awesomeness of the ocean and why they should want to take care of it. Part brawns, entertainment and a little brain. I bring my marine biology perspective into the harvest and also try to brainwash the other crew members to LOVE nudibranchs and barnacle penises.
Megan Guertner
Creator of things with dark chocolate + seaweed. I have a background in visual communications, graphic design, brand development, digital marketing, social media and culinary nutrition. I have assisted in managing digital marketing materials, social media, public relations as well as establishing relationships with local chefs, restaurants and shop owners delivering samples and fulfilling orders.
Anders Budde
Free diver and engineer. This year I was part of the harvesting and technical development team.
Alex Christiansen
I have been a Partner with The Northern Company since 2010. I have been working on various things within the company: operations, productions, management, research, development, distribution, marketing and promotions. It’s a natural place for me to explore and learn about entrepreneurship and start-ups. Lately I have been focusing on establishing sales for the company and getting seaweed out to everyday people.
