We explored that, joined by two of the most experienced practitioners around. Mark Warner has been a senior engineering leader at signature and fast-tracking companies such as Impossible Foods, Imperium renewables and Solazyme (now TerraVia), and today is the principal of Warner Advisors – also a regular with us at ABLC and March Madness and a columnist for The Digest. Jeff Lievense has 35 years of pioneering and productive leadership in industrial biotechnology. Was the long-time VP of technology and process development at Tate & Lyle during the launch of PDO, later with Amyris and now at Genomatica. In all, more than a dozen fermentation and chemical projects, and also a regular here with us in March Madness.
