We're thrilled to welcome Dr. Mary Maxon to BEAM Circular's Executive Leadership Team as our new Chief Strategy Advisor. A globally recognized leader in the bioeconomy, Mary's experience spans science, industry, philanthropy, and public policy—including serving at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, where she authored the 2012 United States National Bioeconomy Blueprint, America's first national policy framework specifically dedicated to the bioeconomy. "Mary is one of the most respected voices in the bioeconomy today, with an extraordinary track record spanning science, industry, and the highest levels of government policy," said Karen Warner, Founder and CEO of BEAM Circular. "Her appointment reflects the long-term vision and trajectory of BEAM’s efforts — from a regional hub for innovation in the Central Valley, to a leading convener and catalyst of state, national, and global partnerships that advance the circular bioeconomy. Mary's expertise will be instrumental as we scale our impact and shape policy and innovation on the world stage. We are thrilled to welcome her to our team." As BEAM Circular continues to expand its leadership in the circular bioeconomy, Mary's strategic expertise will help guide our next chapter, strengthen partnerships, and advance initiatives like the California Bioeconomy Innovation Campus. "BEAM Circular is leading circular bioeconomy efforts in the U.S., doing exceptional work at the intersection of innovation, domestic manufacturing, and rural economic development in a region with a central role to play in transforming the national and global bioeconomy," said Dr. Maxon. "I'm honored to join this team at such a pivotal moment, and I look forward to helping BEAM strengthen its partnerships and its voice both here in California and around the world." Please join us in welcoming Mary to the team! #Bioeconomy #CircularBioeconomy #Biomanufacturing #Leadership #Innovation
