About Christophe Frankiewicz
Axiota is a biotechnology company delivering fermentation-derived animal health products to global markets, including MULTIMIN® and Lactipro® which support cattle health and performance.I lead operations for Axiota’s manufacturing site, with responsibility spanning manufacturing, quality, supply chain, engineering, and site infrastructure. Working directly with executive leadership, I focus on aligning operational execution with business strategy, product growth, and long-term scalability.My background combines hands-on manufacturing leadership with site-level accountability. Over the course of my career, I have progressed through operations roles supporting production, process optimization, and cross-functional improvement initiatives, building a practical understanding of how strategy translates to the shop floor.In my current role, my focus is on scaling operations in a disciplined way: transitioning new products from development into full-scale manufacturing, strengthening systems to support global distribution, and making capital and capacity decisions that balance near-term performance with future growth.I am particularly interested in building resilient operations organizations — developing leaders, improving decision-making through data, and creating structures that allow growing companies to scale without losing control or culture.
