Alexis Manfré Joins Phynova as VP of EMEA

U.K.-based ingredient supplier Phynova announced that it has appointed Alexis Manfré as vice president of EMEA.

Manfré has 17 years of experience in various B2B roles at the local, regional, and global level for the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. He has worked in sales, product marketing, innovation, strategy, business development, and management roles.

He has dedicated most of his career to specialty natural ingredients for health with a strong focus on developing branded ingredients to drive business growth, with sustainability in mind.

He played a pivotal role in the development of Turmipure Gold, Givaudan’s clean-label turmeric formulation designed to address challenges related to delivery platforms.

Before joining Phynova, Manfré worked at Givaudan from 2019 to 2024 as sales director for Europe, business development director, and global product manager for health ingredients. Prior to this, he was a global category manager for nutraceuticals and key account manager for food at Naturex. Prior to these roles, he served as respiratory product manager and oncology sales representative at AstraZeneca.

Manfré holds a degree in health engineering from the School of Pharmacy and a master’s in marketing from HEC Paris.

Manfré said that he was excited to join the company for three reasons. The first is a shared purpose to drive health impact with science-backed, natural ingredients; the second is the team of talented, visionary people who push boundaries to get results; and the third is Reducose, Phynova’s glucose management ingredient, which is poised to transform the health of millions of people, he stated.
