About Eleni Bachlava
As a leader in the ag industry, I am highly committed to making a difference in agriculture as it continues to play a pivotal role for our daily lives and the future of our planet.My professional experience allowed me to develop solid skills in project and portfolio management, drive effective collaborations with various industry and academic partners, as well as develop strengths in strategic thinking, problem solving and change management. Most importantly, I have been fortunate to lead exceptional cross-disciplinary teams that nurtured my passion for developing people and teams and contribute to their growth and success. Gaining exposure to various crops, production environments and ag markets across the globe has been an eyeopening experience. As I continue my career path, I remain deeply interested in the intersection of science and business where innovative technology translates to market-leading products. Thus, I am seeking to further my business knowledge and my impact on commercialization of groundbreaking products.
