As CEO, Anis Hadj Henni oversees Rheolution’s development strategy over the Life Sciences and Agri-Food business units. He is also in charge of the customer experience and key partnerships with strategic business partners, distributors and investors. Anis works closely with Rheolution’s sales, operations and engineering teams to provide the best instruments, software and services to customers. As an entrepreneur, Anis is driven by a powerful purpose: ‘‘My team and I are on the mission of ending the status quo in the viscoelastic and analytical testing space that limits our customer’s ability to innovate and create value for the benefit of people’s health and nutrition. We are defining, with our community of users, Soft Matter Analytics as the paradigm that will shape the future of analytical instrumentation. And, because an idea is not enough, we gathered an outstanding and talented team that works hard to make Soft Matter Analytics a realty to our customers and communities’’, he says. After a successful career in research, Anis co-founded Rheolution in 2009 with mainly new ideas and a vision of what the future could look like. A decade after, he is extremely proud of seeing customers, colleagues, business partners and stakeholders sharing, enriching and building that vision. Anis graduated in civil engineering from the National Polytechnic School of Algiers (Algeria) and holds a Ph.D. in mechanics from Université de Bordeaux (France). When not working (yes, it happens sometimes!), Anis likes spending time with his wife and two kids, practicing racket sports with friends and engaging in the community.
