BOWDOIN — FHC’s Board of Directors has confirmed Keri Sewell Seitz as president and chief operating officer, reporting to Frederick Haer, the company’s chairman of the board and chief executive officer.
In this new role, Seitz is responsible for managing all operational aspects of the company with direct supervision for the Quality and Compliance, Production, Customer Fulfillment, Engineering, and Business Services departments.
Seitz had career experience in both fulfilling regulatory compliance requirements and administering them when she joined FHC in 2004. She was promoted to manager in 2009. She resides in Brunswick with her husband, Mark, and their two children: 6-year-old Thomas and 3-year-old Caitlin.
Haer expressed complete confidence in the new management structure, stating, “Keri built our regulation and compliance department to where it has the respect of our quality and FDA auditors. She is the logical candidate to assume the responsibility for our total operations. Her eager and positive attitude, commitment to our core values and optimistic yet humble presentation will lead FHC to meet and surpass our goals for next year and the future.”
Born and raised in Presque Isle and a graduate of the University of Maine at Orono, Seitz is particularly enthusiastic about FHC’s commitment to community and to remaining a Maine-based manufacturer.
“We are very proud to depend upon Maine vendors and we intend to continue relying on Maine businesses to support our growth,” Seitz said.
