Connor Galleher is the Associate Director of Engineering Deployment at Geno. Connor received his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. In his over a decade tenure at Geno, he has worked on a large portion of the Geno product portfolio, which includes: plant based nylon, butylene glycol, butanediol, and palm oil alternatives. Currently, he leads and manages a team of process engineers to support the deployment of Geno’s process technologies out of the lab, both for R&D and commercialization purposes. In the context of a R&D program, this could be technology transfer to a pilot or demonstration plant. In the context of commercializing a product, this could be technology transfer to a contract manufacturing organization (CMO) in a make-sell business model, or establishing a basis of design that can be used for capital engineering activities in a licensing business model.
