Some CEOs are shaped by boardrooms.

I was shaped by hardship, bees, and a stubborn belief in the healing power of nature.

I’ve just written my first Substack about why I founded the company and what drives me. It’s the most personal thing I’ve shared publicly.

From Bees to Bioactive Compounds: My Unlikely Journey to CEO
I never set out to be a biotech CEO. But sometimes, life puts an opportunity in front of you that feels less like a choice, and more like a calling.

We rely on insect pollinators for around one third of global food production. Crop quality depends upon effective pollinator movement patterns and requires a more comprehensive understanding of species specific pollinator behaviour.

Pollinator, pollen, and cultivar identity drive crop quality
Animal pollination enhances a third of global food production, yet the roles of pollinator, pollen, and cultivar identity in shaping crop quality, such as nutritional, sensory, and marketing value, are underexplored. Crop quality often depends on pollinator movement patterns, which vary with cultivar selection and spatial arrangement, pollen donor identity, and landscape context. Transfer of the right pollen between cultivars may fail, as pollen is often not transported far, even by highly dispersive pollinators, reducing cross-pollination and crop quality. Both pollinator identity and complementary spatiotemporal activity of diverse pollinators can shape crop quality. Here, we argue that promoting crop quality needs better understanding of species-specific pollinator behaviour and cultivar distribution patterns, rather than only focusing on enhancing pollinator densities.
