“Health and nutrition market success demands products that have a strong scientific backing and the versatility that formulators need. With Bimuno, we’re able to offer all this and more in one flexible gut health-focused ingredient. The combination of an award-winning prebiotic ingredient and Doug’s skills in sales growth and relationship management is set to be a potent combination.” 

Doug commented: “I look forward to joining the Clasado team and making my mark on the role. The prebiotics category is already on the cusp of major growth - consumers are switching on to the benefits of proactive gut health management and brand owners are seeing the strong commercial benefits. As Senior Sales Manager North America, I will be supporting the global growth of Bimuno and helping Clasado reach its goal of making gut health simpler and more accessible.”
