Flow Sciences, Inc., a global provider of advanced containment solutions for laboratory and pharmaceutical environments, has appointed Kent Lupino as chief marketing officer. Lupino will be based at the company’s new office in North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park (RTP) and will report directly to Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Mann.

The CMO role is a newly created executive position to support accelerating growth through brand strategy, expanded demand generation, and structured product management. Lupino will be responsible for all marketing, product management, and business development functions, overseeing the company’s go-to-market strategy across its full portfolio of containment enclosures, gloveboxes and contract manufacturing services.

“Kent brings exactly the combination of technical fluency, commercial rigor and life sciences domain knowledge that this role requires,” said Mann. “His track record of building and executing demand generation programs in highly technical B2B markets—and his deep familiarity with the pharmaceutical and biotech customers we serve—makes him uniquely positioned to help Flow Sciences reach the next stage of growth. We are excited to have him on the team.”

Lupino brings more than two decades of B2B marketing experience in the life sciences, medical device and pharmaceutical sectors. He most recently served as senior director of marketing and sales operations at Tergus Pharma, a Durham, NC-based topical pharmaceutical CDMO that merged with MedPharm Ltd. in 2024. Earlier in his career he held marketing and product management leadership roles at BioMedomics, Inc., SunTech Medical and Apex Tool Group. He founded Lupino Consulting LLC, a life sciences marketing consultancy, where he advised companies on go-to-market strategy and commercial buildouts.
