Hasselback Steps Down as President, CEO of Diversified Communications: Nancy Hasselback started out as a commercial fisherman, owning and operating fishing vessels in Rhode Island and Alaska. Over the last 33 years, though, she has worked her way up the ranks of Diversified Communications, ultimately nabbing the company’s top spot as president and CEO—a job she will leave for retirement come June 28th, the company announced Monday morning. The company’s vice president of business development, Ted Wirth, will step into Hasselback’s role to become president and CEO of the Maine-based media company, which serves the seafood, food service, natural and organic, healthcare, commercial marine and business management industries through face-to-face events, publications and the Web.
