Biotalys strengthens North America presence with executive team expansion, new US headquarters

KUALA LUMPUR, June 10 -- Biotalys NV, a transformative food and crop protection company has announced expansion of its executive team and establishment of its new United States (US) headquarters for Biotalys Inc, to be located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.

Appointing Diego Angelo to the newly created role of Chief Business Officer and Head of the US subsidiary, Biotalys Inc, Biotalys is preparing for the commercial launch of its lead biofungicide BioFun-1, the first from its breakthrough platform of biocontrol solutions for safe and sustainable crop protection and food waste reduction.

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, Patrice Sellès, and working with the executive team, Angelo will focus on putting a strong team in place while leading global business development, go-to-market activities, competitive intelligence and alliance management for the company’s protein-based biocontrol solutions.

In the US, Angelo will manage operations for Biotalys Inc as well as the corporate development strategy and execution.

As part of its global expansion, Biotalys will continue recruiting efforts to strengthen its presence beyond North Carolina in multiple states with strong fruit and vegetable businesses, according to a statement.

In addition, earlier this year, Carlos Reyes joined Biotalys to lead the field development programme of BioFun-1. Reyes is based in Sacramento, California.

Following the recent closing of the Series C round, Biotalys is finalising its next field trial programme and preparing to submit the regulatory dossier for its lead biofungicide, aiming to deliver a broad lineup of products that safely and reliably address key crop pests and diseases across the ag and food value chain.
