urora Algae has announced the appointment of Paul Angelico as Chief Operating Officer. Angelico will oversee operations at the company’s Hayward, Calif. headquarters, as well as its demonstration facility in Karratha, Western Australia. His responsibilities will also include leading the engineering, construction and operations of Aurora Algae’s full-scale production facility in Maitland, Western Australia, which is scheduled to break ground in Q4 2012.

Mr. Angelico started his management career in 1978 as Operations Manager at a Procter & Gamble consumer goods manufacturing facility. In 1994, he cofounded Twin Rivers Technologies, which purchased the manufacturing facility from Procter & Gamble, and established an oleochemical refining business operating a 160 million pound refinery. As President and COO, he grew Twin Rivers Technologies in size, production capacity, and profit, serving the oleochemicals, renewable biofuels, and food ingredients markets.

“With our Australian demonstration facility hitting production goals and a major commercial plant in the works, Paul’s extensive experience in the renewable chemicals, biofuels and food ingredients industries will prove extremely valuable as we scale to meet growing market demands for sustainable algae-based products,” said Greg Bafalis, CEO of Aurora Algae.
