ProBiotix Health plc has appointed Niels Peter Bak as its new Head of Product Management as part of a strategic approach to further accelerate product development.
The life sciences business, that develops probiotic formulations to support cardiometabolic health, previously announced its new strategy to target the over-the-counter pharmaceutical market and online health brands with its finished supplement dosage formats. The appointment of Niels Peter will enable the company to strengthen its infrastructure and elevate its customer service offering in the probiotics market.
With almost 30 years of experience in international roles in the global probiotics sector, Niels Peter has been an integral part of the team at pharmaceutical manufacturing company Bifodan A/S as a Business Unit Manager, before it was acquired by Deerland Probiotics & Enzymes in 2019. Since then, Niels has continued to work with Deerland as a Senior Product Manager, where he specialised in product portfolio development and operational product management.
Steen Andersen, CEO of ProBiotix commented: “Niels Peter is a talented industry veteran with a proven track record in product development and business strategy execution. It is a pleasure to welcome Niels Peter to the ProBiotix team. His strong network of contacts, alongside his expertise in the probiotics market makes him a fundamental part of the team.
“The appointment of a new technical product manager arrives at an opportune time for ProBiotix due to our recent strategic shift and expansion of our cardiometabolic supplements product portfolio into pharmacies across Europe and the US. I have no doubt that Niels Peter will be the right choice for ProBiotix to strengthen our relationships with key players in the European and North American markets.”
Prior to his role at Deerland, Niels Peter was employed at the international global biosciences company, Chr. Hansen, within the probiotics division. Here, he worked across many roles from business manager to marketing and corporate management.
Commenting on his new role, Niels Peter said: “I am delighted to join the ProBiotix team during such a pivotal time in the company’s history. As Head of Product Management, I will work closely with Steen and his team to develop clear strategic execution for the product range as finished supplement dosage formats, ensuring the science-backed technical innovation of LPLDL® remains at the forefront of the formulations.”
