Albena Todorova, head of agriculture and food technology ventures at Japan-based trading group Sumitomo’s European subsidiary, has left for a summer sabbatical.
In a blog post, Todorova said: “Just wanted to say a very big thank you to everyone who supported our small but brave team in the last years — colleagues, partners, co-investors, entrepreneurs, everyone — your passionate and heartfelt support is amazing, and even the little we have done would have not been possible without you.
“My biggest respect and admiration goes to the teams of Taranis, CropX Technologies LTD and Tropic Biosciences (in chronological order as SCEU investments).”
Todorova had spent nearly three years as a director on the project after initially working as a business development executive for Sumitomo.
