Shawn W. Jones, PhD, has been promoted to Director of Innovation & Manufacturing, EgCel IgY Technology and Michelle Tollefson has been promoted to Director of Commercialization, EgCel IgY Technology. Both are key executives within the business unit and will drive adoption and growth of the EgCel portfolio of products (EggTek and ActivEgg), pipeline innovations and new services brought to market.

He joined Arkion in 2020 and was most recently the Process and Development Manager. Prior to coming to Arkion, he worked to develop and scale-up novel fermentation and microbial processes for biomaterials and nutrition products.
