Previously he spent ten years at DuPont Pharmaceuticals, following a Management Studies degree from Cambridge University.
The appointment comes at an important time for Nexeon as the Company makes its plans for the establishment of a UK-based manufacturing facility for which it raised £40million last year.
“It’s a pleasure to welcome Michael to the Nexeon team”, said Dr Scott Brown, CEO of Nexeon. “He brings with him a great deal of relevant experience in the commercialisation of leading edge technology, and I look forward to his contribution.”
Nexeon’s use of silicon as a replacement for carbon in lithium ion batteries will enable significantly higher energy densities and longer life between charges, and is important in improving performance in consumer devices and electric vehicles.
