Ivy Farm Technologies Announces Leadership Transition

After more than three and a half years of visionary leadership as Chief Executive Officer, Richard Dillon will transition to the role of Non-Executive Director on the company’s board. During his tenure, Rich has been instrumental in driving significant technological advancements, developing a robust IP portfolio, managing critical regulatory submissions, and building an exceptional scientific, engineering, and commercial team in Oxford.

Harsh Amin, currently serving as Chief Scientific Officer, will assume the role of Interim CEO. Under Harsh’s leadership, Ivy Farm Technologies will prioritise becoming the lowest-cost producer of delicious and top-quality cultivated meat, doubling down on its technology efforts and leaning into its scientific industry leadership. This focused approach aims to accelerate progress towards being the first UK company to achieve regulated and commercial sales of cultivated meat for human consumption.

“We are deeply grateful for Rich’s outstanding leadership and are delighted that he has accepted the Non-Executive Director role on the board, ensuring his continued close involvement,” said Alasdair Russell, Chairman of Ivy Farm Technologies. “We are equally excited to welcome Harsh into his new role as Interim CEO. His deep technology expertise stands him in perfect stead to navigate the company’s next phase of growth and development.”

Ivy Farm Technologies is well-positioned to achieve its goals and maintain its industry leadership. This transition underscores the company’s commitment to staying at the forefront of cultivated meat innovation while ensuring a seamless continuity of operations and strategic direction.
