Compana taps new chief veterinary officer

Micah Kohles, the current VP of technical services and research, will lead the company’s newly launched Technical Center of Excellence. 

Recently appointed CEO Greg Pearson said that innovation is a major growth engine for the company and that expanding the team of Compana Pet Brands with Dr. Kohles “will enable that growth.”

“It is essential that we integrate technical expertise into all facets of our business,” said Kohles. 

Missouri-based pet care manufacturer is introducing a Technical Center of Excellence dedicated to scientific research and accelerating innovation, a “cornerstone” of Compana’s expansion plan.

Dr. Kohles transitioned into his role as VP of Technical Services & Research at Compana in January 2022, when the company acquired Oxbow Animal Health.
