Codexis
Laurie Heilmann is the new senior vice president of business development and marketing at the protein engineering company.
Heilmann has more than 30 years of leadership experience across the life sciences industry.

"This is an optimal time to join Codexis, which is on the crescendo of exponential growth, in the life science and industrial markets. Codexis’ extendable protein engineering technology platform, CodeEvolver, is rapidly becoming a vital tool for pharmaceutical manufacturing companies," Heilmann told us.
"I am looking forward to expanding the global reach of Codexis’ sales and marketing commercialization team. My focus will be to develop strategies which increase awareness in untapped vertical markets. I am thrilled to be working with CEO John Nicols and the rest of the Codexis team toward fulfilling the great promise of this remarkable company."
