CIBO Technologies, a Flagship Pioneering Company, today announced the appointment of Hugh Grant, longtime leader in global agriculture, to its Board of Directors. CIBO applies proprietary, scientific based modeling and artificial intelligence technologies to deliver a deep understanding of agricultural systems to help mitigate climate change, advance food system resilience, and improve grower outcomes through driving the adoption of regenerative and sustainable practices on a global scale.
“We are thrilled to welcome Hugh Grant to CIBO’s Board of Directors,” said CIBO’s co-founder and Chairman Ignacio Martinez. “Hugh’s expertise in leading agriculture companies to develop and commercialize pioneering innovations will be an invaluable asset in CIBO’s next phase of development”
Grant brings nearly 40 years of agricultural and corporate leadership to the CIBO board. As the Chairman, President, and CEO of the former Monsanto Company, Grant led triple digit growth in sales and share price over his 15 years in leadership. In 2018, Grant led Monsanto’s $60 billion sale to Bayer AG.
“I am excited to work with the CIBO team to make sustainable agriculture practices economically and environmentally aligned,” said Grant. “Data is at the heart of everything CIBO does; the company has a unique insight into the carbon economy in agriculture.”
