MiAlgae - a Scotland-based company repurposing whisky industry by-products to grow microalgae as a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to fish-derived Omega-3 sources - has announced the appointment of a new associate director, Jerome Quiohilag. This announcement comes as the company prepares to navigate ambitious plans for growth.
Quiohilag enters his new role with more than a decade of experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing, having successfully led high-performing teams across diverse manufacturing environments, directing operations to meet strategic business objectives whilst driving efficiency and process optimisation.
Last year, MiAlgae successfully reached commercial-scale production of NaturAlgae, its sustainable marine Omega-3 product, at its demonstrator site in Scotland. Now, the company is preparing for its next major milestone - the development of an industrial scale production facility in Scotland, with the first phase set for completion in 2025.
"This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing company with a clear mission and global ambition. I look forward to applying my expertise to scale operations and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future," Quiohilag said, in a press release from MiAlgae.
"We’re thrilled to welcome Jerome at this exciting time for MiAlgae. His expertise will be crucial as we scale up to meet growing demand and continue driving biotech innovation," added Douglas Martin, founder and managing director at MiAlgae.
