As Venture Associate at Fulcrum Global Capital, Bonnie invests in agricultural technologies that improve global food production, reduce waste and increase sustainability. Bonnie brings over 15 years of experience in the plant sciences and biotech to the Fulcrum Global Capital team.

Prior to joining FGC in 2022, Bonnie worked at Corteva Agriscience for almost a decade.  She joined DuPont Pioneer as a researcher at the Hawaii Doubled Haploid Production facility, where her team focused on novel breeding technologies for corn and sunflower.  Eventually, Bonnie moved out of the lab and into Corteva’s R&D Operations. As an R&D Operational Excellence Leader, Bonnie spearheaded continuous improvement programs, as well as change management and strategy campaigns. From there, Bonnie transitioned to an R&D Technology Acquisition & Alliance Manager. In that role, she formed and managed external collaborations for a variety of R&D teams, including Biologicals, Predictive-Risk/Regulatory, Seed Applied Technologies, and Small Molecule/Natural Products. She also scouted commercial and pre-commercial products for Corteva’s Biologicals Portfolio.

Before her career at Corteva, Bonnie was a staff scientist at the University of Hawaii’s John A. Burns School of Medicine and Hawaii Center for AIDS in an Immuno-Genetics group. She also worked as a Metabolomics researcher at Mendel Biotechnology in Hayward, California.
