BioLumic Strengthens Executive Team with Greg Levow as Chief Operating Officer
BioLumic has announced the appointment of Greg Levow as its new Chief Operating Officer. The move comes as BioLumic scales commercial delivery of its xTraits™ platform across global markets and key crop types.

Greg Levow Brings Agricultural and Tech Experience to BioLumic
Greg Levow joins the company with more than 20 years of executive leadership across agriculture, digital agronomy, and food supply chain sectors. He co-founded Agronomic Technology Corp, held global leadership roles at Yara, and recently served as COO and CTO at Verblio. His focus on cross-functional operations and global execution aligns with BioLumic’s current phase of rapid expansion.
“Having Greg on board is a defining step for BioLumic,” said CEO Steve Sibulkin. “He builds efficient operations and systems, brings the right people together, and keeps a focus on what matters for driving impact.”
BioLumic’s Expansion Targets Global Seed and Sustainability Markets
As COO, Levow joins during a period of rapid growth for the company. The company has active and upcoming projects in North America, South America, Europe, and New Zealand. Its proprietary xTraits platform improves traits such as yield, nitrogen use efficiency, and forage quality using a one-time light activation process that programs parent-line seed genetics—without the use of chemicals or GMOs.
Levow remarked, “It’s rare to find a technology that can truly deliver win-win outcomes. BioLumic’s approach improves field performance for farmers while also advancing sustainability goals.”
BioLumic
BioLumic focuses on plant trait development using light-based solutions to influence genetic expression. The company’s xTraits™ technology activates biological mechanisms in seeds and seedlings to improve yield, vigor, nutrition, and overall plant health without chemicals or genetic modification.
With applications across over a dozen crops—including corn, soybeans, rice, and forage—BioLumic offers a platform that shortens trait development timelines by up to 90% while aiming to reduce environmental impact and support crop resilience.
