Jill’s career has been driven around commercializing science: she spent 27 years with Cargill developing and commercializing new technologies in food, animal feed and industrial biotechnology. Most recently, she and her team at Cargill created Qore- a Joint Venture with HELM for the production of QIRA, a renewable 1,4 butanediol (product used for renewable packaging, spandex and industrial materials). Her last role as Interim CEO for NatureWorks brings her career full circle as she was a founding member of the company when she led the development of the lactic acid production process. Jill recently founded Zullo Advisors LLC and is helping companies navigate the commercialization of innovative products and technologies
