Protix names new CCO
Dutch insect-based ingredients producer Protix has appointed Piotr Postepski as its Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). Taking up the role in August 2024, Postepski will be responsible for further driving the company’s international expansion plans.
Postepski brings almost two decades of international experience at global companies to the Protix team. His career spans various leadership roles in the pharmaceutical sector, across different geographies. Before joining Protix, he was instrumental in the development and scaling of a global, innovative animal health business.
As CCO of Protix, Postepski will be responsible for the overall commercial strategy, leading the sales team, marketing and business development activities as well as product development.
Founded in 2019, Protix uses waste from the food industry as feed for insects. In turn, the insects are processed into valuable nutrients such as proteins and lipids. Protix’s customers use these proteins and lipids as high-quality ingredients for animal and aquaculture feeds and pet food. Residual streams from the insects are used as organic fertilisers.
