In this capacity, Clark will oversee the company’s relations with US Government departments across both defence and commercial sectors and facilitate the company’s anticipated listing on the NASDAQ.

Dr. Robert Brookins’s role recently expanded as VP of research and product development, with the consolidation of product development and Research and development into one department, earlier this year. Brookins’ previous work at the Air Force Research Laboratory at Tyndall AFB in Florida, experience in organic synthesis, materials chemistry, and chem/bio protection, are just a few examples of the expertise Brookins brings to this senior position across the full range of products.
Brian Enlow assumed the role of VP of finance earlier this year. Previously Alexium’s financial reporting manager, Brian’s professional background includes public accounting, both audit and taxation, as well as corporate accounting roles focusing on financial reporting and cost accounting.
Nick Clark, CEO of Alexium, said, “One of my main focuses has been placing the right people in the right roles. I am confident that Alexium’s very experienced team will help the company grow in its existing markets while opening up new markets for its specialty chemicals. We have already begun to benefit from this global expansion, with quarterly revenues increasing 92 per cent quarter on quarter in the third quarter of financial year 2017, with higher gross margins each quarter.” (SV)
