Dean Barker will replace company founder Iain Hosie.
Auckland-based deep tech manufacturer NanoLayr has appointed Dean Barker as technical director to lead the company’s future growth and expansion as a global leader in advanced textiles manufacturing.
Barker, whose previous roles include R&D manager at Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, has taken over from NanoLayr co-founder, director, and current technical director Iain Hosie.
Hosie has transitioned to a governance role, enabling him to focus on the future direction of NanoLayr which use proprietary Sonic Electrospinning Technology to produce nanofibre at scale. Hosie will also continue to champion electrospinning technology as a global manufacturing platform.
Hosie, who co-founded NanoLayr (formerly Revolution Fibres) in 2009, said Barker had the expertise and a future-driven approach that will enhance the company's innovation focus, and continue to build on the exponential growth it has undergone in the last 18 months.
