A new lead on leather... @vitrolabsinc , the California-based biotech company leading the commercialization of cell-cultivated animal leather, announces the appointment of two new members to its Board of Directors —Anthony Chow, Co-Founder of Agronomics; and Martin Avetisyan, Chief Growth Officer and member of the Executive Board at FARFETCH. Chow and Avetisyan join VitroLabs CEO & Co-Founder Ingvar Helgason to form the three-person Board. Together, they bring expertise in developing new biotechnologies in cell therapeutics and cellular agriculture, as well as global growth, acquisition, and expansion in luxury, to the company. In May, VitroLabs announced its long-standing product development partnership with Kering and closed its series A funding round, raising $46 million to date. VitroLabs also recently appointed Lance Kizer, former Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer at Cana Technologies, to its executive team as Chief Technology Officer. With extensive experience scaling products for commercialization in the food-tech, industrial biochemical, and synthetic biology spaces, Kizer will lead VitroLabs’ R&D team in driving product development and scale up to bring the world’s first cell cultivated leather to market. “I am extremely pleased to have such a strong leadership team at the helm at VitroLabs. Lance, Anthony, and Martin’s unique backgrounds bring a strong addition of product development, scaling commercialization, growing biotech innovations, and developing businesses in luxury fashion to the company. We are now better positioned than ever before to meet our ambitious goals as we enter the next chapter,” says CEO & Co-Founder Ingvar Helgason… @reveriepage | Link in bio https://www.reveriepage.com/blog/vitrolabs-appoints-anthony-chow-and-martin-avetisyan-to-its-board-of-directors #labgrownleather #leatheralternative #leathergoods #lastyle #losangelesfashion #leatherstyle #nystyle #nycstreetstyle #streetwearfashion #streetwearlooks #workwear #workwearinspired #fashionstyling #ethicallymade #consciousfashion #ethicalfashion #fashionstyling #fashionbusiness #fashionwriters #fashioneditors #fashionbloggers #editorsoffashion (at New York City, N.Y.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjVj9O1O-u2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
