REPLOID Group AG Announces Executive Board Changes to Drive International Expansion

The Supervisory Board of REPLOID Group AG has implemented changes to the company’s Executive Board, reducing it to two members while repositioning key executives to support international expansion. Alain Parent, previously Chief Strategy Officer, will leave the Group Executive Board effective February 2026 to assume the position of CEO of REPLOID France SAS, taking over management of the company’s business activities in France and in North and West Africa. Jonas Finck, formerly Chief Biology Officer, has been appointed Chief Operating Officer, reflecting the operational responsibilities he has already taken on. The Group Executive Board will now consist of Philip Pauer as Chief Executive Officer and Jonas Finck as Chief Operating Officer.

These changes align with REPLOID’s dynamic growth path in 2026, which emphasizes international expansion. France plays a central role in this strategy due to its scale and significance in the agricultural sector. Alain Parent, a native of France, has already concentrated on market development there in recent months. Wenzel Staub, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of REPLOID Group AG, stated, “With Alain Parent, REPLOID has an experienced senior executive who is ideally suited to lead the company’s expansion into the French and North African markets.” This move underscores the strategic importance of these regions for the company’s future growth.

Alain Parent emphasized the critical nature of this expansion, noting, “International expansion is the key to REPLOID’s success. In recent months, I have focused intensively on the strategically important French market and have already developed specific plans for further countries in North and West Africa. As CEO of REPLOID France SAS, I will now dedicate my full attention to advancing these initiatives.” His transition from a group-level role to a regional leadership position highlights REPLOID’s commitment to deepening its market presence in key areas. Philip Pauer, CEO of REPLOID Group AG, expressed confidence in this strategy, commenting, “I am thrilled that Alain Parent, with his experience and expertise, will lead REPLOID’s entry into the French market. This market is of vital importance to our growth strategy, and I am confident that Alain is the right person to make this next step a success.”

The executive reshuffle reflects REPLOID’s broader business model, which focuses on producing high-quality proteins and fats as well as organic fertilizer from black soldier fly larvae through decentralized upcycling on an industrial scale. This approach provides an economically attractive solution within the circular economy, efficiently recycling food waste and conserving natural resources. The company, founded in 2020 and based in Wels, Austria, has a global focus and has been listed on the direct market plus segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange since July 2025.
