ACMS (Pty) Ltd Announces Departure of Willem Schoonbee,
Co-Founder, to Step Down After 11 Years of Service

ACMS (Pty) Ltd, a leader in the African aquaculture development sector, announced that Willem Schoonbee, Director and Founding Member, departed the company in December 2025. Willem is stepping down to pursue a new venture, leaving behind a legacy of innovation and growth.

Since the company’s inception in 2014, Willem has been instrumental in ACMS’s vision and culture. Over this period, the company reached significant milestones, including the guidance of investments into the African aquaculture sector, improving aquaculture profitability in East Africa and launching the online training platform InDepth.

"Building ACMS alongside this incredible team has been the greatest honour of my professional life," said Willem. "I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together. While I am excited for my next chapter, I remain the company's biggest cheerleader and have full confidence in the leadership team to continue the mission of ACMS." - Willem Schoonbee

Gavin Johnston, Co-Founder and Director of ACMS, expressed gratitude for Willem’s contributions: "Willem’s passion, ability and strategic insight have been foundational to our success. Whilst we will miss his daily presence, we wish him nothing but the absolute best in his future endeavours, and will no doubt call on him for assistance on a per project basis."

To ensure a seamless transition, Willem will remain in an advisory capacity.
