OptiBiotix Health PLC (LON:OPTI) has appointed a former Tesco PLC (LON:TSCO) lead development manager, Aneta Zlotkowska as its head of Quality & Operations.
Zlotkowska’s main responsibilities at Tesco were within the distribution business unit in logistics and operations.
She will join the AIM-listed life sciences business at the beginning of 2021 and one of her primary objectives will be to attain a British Retail Consortium certification for OptiBiotix.
"Given OptiBiotix's rapid international expansion with the announcements of various distribution and manufacturing agreements for SlimBiome, OptiBiome and WellBiome as well as commercial launches of finished products containing OptiBiotix's technology in the UK (RNS: 7 January 2020) and the USA & Canada (RNS: 4 May 2020), we feel the need to appoint a full-time employee with the relevant skillset to manage and lead OptiBiotix's quality management system and operations,” explained Fred Nabel, the managing director of OptiBiotix’s prebiotics division in a statement.
Shares in OptiBiotix were up 0.8% at 61p in early deals.
