Back of the Yard Algae Sciences Inc (BYAS)
Commercialising the tech of tomorrow
BYAS was on a growth trajectory and presented us with a fascinating challenge to find a CEO who could help them translate their innovative technology into a commercial proposition.
They were seeking a leader who could combine a strong corporate background with the flair and mindset of a start-up. They wanted a leader who could shape the organisation and its capabilities for future success whilst attracting potential investors.
Small and big company savvy
We targeted experienced senior leaders in the ingredients and flavors sector with a track record of building small early-stage businesses into significant scale.
The focus was on Illinois and neighbouring states with a reasonable time travel or willingness to relocate.
A strong cultural fit
The candidate came from our network of contacts with whom we have a deep knowledge and understanding of their relevant experience and skillsets.
He truly embodied the founder mindset as a flexible leader adept at wearing different hats, and excited by the pursuit of growth with upside potential.
