On the Move in Biofuels: LanzaTech

In Illinois, LanzaTech announced that Jim Messina, campaign manager for President Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign and noted digital communications strategist, has joined its board of directors.

Messina, who seized the reins on President Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign, which Bloomberg Businessweek magazine dubbed “the highest-wattage crash course in executive management ever undertaken,” now runs The Messina Group, a firm that advises political campaigns and businesses who want to build movements, services and products that succeed by being data-driven, digitally savvy and grassroots focused.

“Jim’s proven ability to merge technology, messaging and communications in support of ideas that transcend ‘business as usual’ will help us continue our mission of reshaping how our world sources and consumes energy,” said Jennifer Holmgren, CEO of LanzaTech. “Our technology transforms carbon emissions from a problem to an opportunity. This is a bold idea and we’re thrilled that Jim shares our vision and is willing to help us tell our story.”
