Bryan Tracy, Co-Founder and President of Superbrewed

Bryan Tracy, PhD

Co-Founder & President

Bryan has spent his career exploring what biology can do—from Novozymes, through a PhD in Biochemical Engineering, to founding three transformative biotechnology companies.

This journey culminated in the founding of Superbrewed, driven by a vision to harness the extraordinary potential of whole microorganisms to transform human nutrition and health, which became the foundation for Superbrewed’s Whole-Cell Intelligence™ platform.

Bryan developed Superbrewed’s pioneering technology and manufacturing platforms and established strategic partnerships with global industry leaders including Döhler, Fonterra, Bel Group, and Lockheed Martin, advancing breakthrough innovations from scientific discovery to commercial-scale manufacturing and market launch.

Bryan’s deepest conviction comes from giving back and improving the quality of life of others. Having experienced firsthand the positive impact of Superbrewed’s innovations on his wife, daughter, and son, he is passionate about bringing those same possibilities to people around the world. This commitment to making a difference extends to his service on several nonprofit boards, including FAME and DESCA, which expand career opportunities for under-represented populations and support other entrepreneurs with sustainable technologies.
