Philippe Granvillain
R&D and Site Manager, GREENSEA S.A.S.
I used to be a Chemist in Research and Development, and I worked both in biotech and pharmaceutical sectors for 12 years in 3 start-up and restructuring companies (located in France and Canada). I now want to further my career by performing business development, or project management at a corporate level.

1996 - 2002I developped the production platform (2500L, 55m3) and managed the scaleup of marine microalgae industrial controlled cultures. I developped and produced an innovative portfolio of biomarine ingredients for the cosmetic sector. I was directly responsible of all chemistry issues (nutritive media, ingredient quality control, culture monitoring, algae extraction). I managed a 2-technician team, proactively did business intelligence, and built up our internal business network.
