Cytek Biosciences Appoints Dr. Philippe Busque Senior Vice President of Global Sales & Services

FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cytek Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTKB), a leading cell analysis solutions company, today announced the appointment of Philippe Busque, Ph.D. as Senior Vice President of Global Sales & Services. In this newly created position, Dr. Busque will lead an enhanced global sales organization encompassing all customer facing functions worldwide, including sales, service, and technical application support, building on the recently integrated sales team that combines the original Cytek sales force with the Amnis® and Guava® sales force.

“Philippe’s extensive global sales and marketing experience as an executive at several life science companies, including Johnson & Johnson, Sony Biotechnology, and BD Biosciences, makes him an outstanding choice to lead our sales organization. Prior to his experience in sales, Philippe was trained as a scientist with a master’s degree in microbiology and Ph.D. in Immunology, giving him insight into Cytek’s customers’ full solution needs,” commented Dr. Wenbin Jiang, CEO of Cytek.

Cytek’s acquisition of the Amnis and Guava product lines from Luminex Corporation in February 2023 provided the Company with expanded market access, new product development opportunities, and operational synergies. To take advantage of these expanded market and product development opportunities, Cytek is reorganizing its Commercial function into two distinct operations: the enhanced sales organization led by Dr. Busque, and a new Platform organization, which will encompass marketing, product roadmaps, and program management. The Company believes the new structure will support the Company’s transition toward a market-driven organization and to develop and sell cell analysis solutions based on market-derived inputs. These market inputs will shape Cytek’s research, new product, and applications development, and its approach to interacting with customers.

In parallel with these enhancements, Cytek’s Chief Commercial Officer, Todd Garland, is leaving Cytek for another opportunity. “We appreciate Todd’s contributions in building Cytek’s commercial team and helping shape this enhanced sales organization, which, I believe, will enable Cytek to better serve our customers, be more responsive to market signals, accelerate our revenue growth and profitability, and increase our market presence,” said Dr. Jiang. “Our sales teams are excited about the combination of our commercial organizations and the opportunities brought to us through the transition toward a market-driven focus, which is another strong validation of our commitment to delivering full cell analysis solutions to our customers.”
