Corbion, a global leader in sustainable ingredient solutions, is pleased to announce the return of Bart Boomsma as the new Business Development Manager for Animal Nutrition and the hiring of Lenaïg Richard-Breivik as the new Business Development Manager for Aquaculture.

Bart is set to play a pivotal role in accelerating Corbion's growth in the pet and livestock sectors with a strong background in technical sales, product management, and animal health and nutrition. Meanwhile, Lenaïg brings with her a wealth of experience and expertise that will drive the company’s growth and innovation in the aquaculture sector.

Bart is no stranger to Corbion, having previously worked with the company from 2009 to 2015 as a Technical Marketing Specialist. During his initial tenure at Corbion, Bart developed a deep understanding of the company’s innovative solutions and contributed significantly to various marketing initiatives. After leaving Corbion, Bart continued to build his career in the animal nutrition sector, taking on technical-commercial roles at Palital Feed Additives and AHV (Animal Health Vision). His experience in these positions has further honed his expertise in product development, animal health, and nutrition.

In his new role at Corbion, Bart will leverage his extensive knowledge and experience to drive business development in the animal nutrition sector. He will focus on expanding Corbion's presence in the pet and livestock markets, working closely with key stakeholders to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions that meet the evolving needs of the industry.

Luc Steenwelle, Business Director in Animal Nutrition at Corbion, commented on Bart's reappointment: "Over the last years, Corbion has delivered on the strategy of consistently growing the algae business in animal nutrition. To continue this path of ambitious growth in the key segments of Aquaculture, Pet, and Livestock, we have strengthened our Business Development team. We are very happy to welcome Bart to our team."

Lenaïg joins Corbion with 13 years of experience at Skretting, a Nutreco company, where she held key roles in research, product management, marketing, and business development. Her work spanned leading R&D projects for shrimp nutritional solutions, managing global feed products, driving innovation pipelines, and leading strategic growth initiatives in early-life nutrition for both fish and shrimp species. Her deep expertise in fish and shrimp nutrition, precision feeding and farming, and innovation management is complemented by a PhD in shrimp nutrition.

In her new role at Corbion, Lenaïg will focus on expanding the company’s presence in the global aquaculture market through strategic business development and by fostering strong relationships with key stakeholders in the industry.

"We are thrilled to welcome Lenaïg to our team," said Steenwelle. "Her extensive experience and proven track record in the aquaculture industry will be invaluable as we continue to innovate and grow our aquaculture business. We look forward to the strategic insights and leadership she will bring to Corbion."

As Bart and Lenaïg step into their new roles, those in our network can expect active engagement as they reach out to deliver the benefits of Corbion’s algae products. Efforts will be focused on improving business outcomes for our partners by providing sustainable, high-quality solutions tailored to the needs of the animal nutrition and aquaculture industries.
