eXoZymes appoints experienced biomanufacturing executive, Damien Perriman, as CCO
| ● | Expanded leadership team as eXoZymes ramps up commercial growth |
| ● | Damien Perriman brings more than two decades of experience in successfully developing and commercializing novel biotechnologies |
| ● | Focus on developing commercial opportunities, spin-outs, joint-ventures, and licensing deals with future partners |
Monrovia, CA — April 2, 2025 — Today, eXoZymes Inc. (NASDAQ: EXOZ) (“eXoZymes”) - a pioneer of AI-engineered enzymes that can transform sustainable feedstock into essential chemicals, medicines, and biofuels - announced the appointment of Damien Perriman to a newly created role as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO).
Perriman brings more than two decades of experience in successfully commercializing several biotechnologies, spanning diverse markets such as nutrition, personal care, plastics, textiles, fragrances, performance fuels, and specialty chemicals. Before joining eXoZymes, Perriman most recently has served leading commercial roles at both Genomatica (Geno) and Gevo, while also serving as Chairman of the Board of Danish biotechnology startup Cellugy.
“eXoZymes represents the new generation of SynBio design and scale-up, setting new standards for development speed and opening a range of commercially compelling product opportunities. This new approach can overcome process titer constraints and the feedstock limitations of conventional technologies, enabling projects to reach commercial scale sooner and with lower capital risk. This sets us up to be an innovative and reliable solutions provider for companies looking to make greater impact with more sustainable and globally competitive products,” states Chief Commercial Officer at eXoZymes, Damien Perriman, and continues, “We are stepping into an exciting future, commercializing the next generation of biomanufacturing.”
Video presentation of Damien Perriman available here.

About eXoZymes
Founded in 2019, the company has developed a biomanufacturing platform that - as a historic first - offers the tools and insights
to engineer, control and optimize nature’s own natural processes to produce chemical compounds, enabling the company’s partners
to replace traditional chemical production methods with a new commercially scalable, sustainable, and eco-friendly alternative: exozymes.
Exozymes are advanced enzymes enhanced through AI and bioengineering to thrive in a bioreactor outside of living cells. Exozymes can replace toxic petrochemical processes and inefficient biochemical extraction with sustainable and scalable biosolutions that transform biomass into essential chemicals, medicines, and biofuels.
By freeing enzyme-driven chemical reactions from the limitations imposed by cells, exozyme biosolutions eliminate the scaling bottleneck that has hampered commercial success in the synthetic biology (SynBio) space, making exozymes the logical successor to most SynBio projects.
While the company, eXoZymes Inc., has introduced “exozymes” as a scientific concept, they are not trademarking the concept, as they view it as a new nomenclature for wide adoption for this next generation of biomanufacturing that eXoZymes aims to pioneer and be the market leader of.
