Ecovative Design
Gavin McIntyre co-founded Ecovative to solve environmental challenges through biology. Gavin oversaw research and development during the company’s early product launches, and is a listed inventor on over two dozen of the company's issued and pending patents. He now serves as the company's CCO where he focuses on growing a network of international mycelium-material partnerships from small enterprises to large multinationals and government agencies. Gavin is a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where his dual degree in mechanical engineering and social design led to his passion for building home-spun bioreactors in which he has cultivated organisms from oysters to orchids. He serves on the Board of Directors at Ecovative and the non-profit Clean and Healthy New York, as well as Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Strategic Advisory Council.
