JSE- and Nasdaq-listed isotopes production company ASP Isotopes has announced that its founder and executive chairperson Paul Mann will resume his role as CEO and continue as executive chairperson with effect from January 19, 2026.
On September 29, the company announced that Mann would be taking a temporary leave of absence from his CEO duties for health reasons and that the board of directors had appointed ASP Isotopes COO Robert Ainscow to serve as interim CEO, in addition to his existing duties.

Mann thanked Ainscow for leading in an expanded role during this period.
“I thank the executive management team of ASP Isotopes for continuing to run the company while I was recovering. I'm pleased to be returning as CEO at an important moment for the company,” he said.
“Over recent weeks, I have had detailed and constructive discussions with a broad group of shareholders and their perspectives have been carefully reflected in our plans. As founder and largest shareholder, my focus is firmly aligned with long-term value creation.
“We have strengthened our execution frameworks and now have greater clarity and confidence as we move forward. With strong foundations in place, we believe 2026 has the potential to be a highly transformative year for the company,” he said.
