NoPalm Ingredients appoints Julie Cortal-Oosterveer as chief commercial officer

NoPalm Ingredients has promoted Julie Cortal-Oosterveer to the role of chief commercial officer as the company accelerates its push toward industrialisation and commercialisation.

Founded in 2021, NoPalm Ingredients is a Dutch biotechnology company that produces microbial oils as a sustainable, palm-free alternative to palm oil.

Cortal-Oosterveer joined the Dutch biotech firm in 2022 as head of business development, where she played a central role in driving commercial growth. Her work included delivering several strategic revenue-generating projects, developing a robust pipeline across the food and beauty sectors, establishing partnerships with global players and leading the company’s go-to-market strategy and industrial pilots.

In her new position, Cortal-Oosterveer will oversee NoPalm Ingredients’ global go-to-market strategy, customer and supplier success and efforts to consolidate its position as a leading alternative to palm and other tropical oils.

Cortal-Oosterveer said: “Now it’s all about execution: bringing our go-to-market strategy to life, securing feedstock partnerships to scale rapidly and reliably and working with forward-thinking customers to turn our pipeline into lasting revenues."
