Amyris 2.0 but with the same people in the board who caused the debacle and bankruptcy, cant see how amyris will ever be regain the trust. Will anyone ever believe anything that comes out from the board controlled by the same people i.e John Doer and Ryan.

Oh good, someone who knows anything about science leading Amyris. Only good things can come from that after a decade or more of being led by an oil exec with no knowledge on fermentation science. All Amyris C-suite and board members should be ashamed of themselves for letting John Melo drive this company into the ground. You stole millions, if not billions from Amyris employees and retail investors.

Congratulations Kathy. I can’t think of anyone better. Looking forward to great things coming from Amyris.

Amyris has always valued the quality of its employees. I am proud to have been part of this company and helped establish it in Brazil. Congratulations to everyone!
