“Craig brings an exceptional combination of financial acumen, strategic discipline, and industry insight to the Cibus Board,” said Mark Finn, Chairman of the Board of Cibus. “As Cibus prepares for anticipated commercial scaling of our trait platform, Craig’s expertise in sustainable growth and capital strategy in agriculture will be instrumental in strengthening our position in our markets and creating shareholder value.”
Mr. Wichner is the Founder and Managing Partner of Farmland LP, a leading U.S. farmland investment management firm with more than $350 million in assets and over 19,000 acres under management. Since founding the firm in 2009, he has been a recognized leader in demonstrating how regenerative and organic farming practices can drive both strong financial performance and measurable environmental outcomes. His background spans technology, real estate investment, and agribusiness development.
“I am honored to join the Cibus Board at such an exciting time for agricultural innovation,” said Mr. Wichner. “Cibus’ platform is uniquely positioned to accelerate the development of gene-edited traits and deploy them through licensing partnerships with leading seed companies. This approach not only expands the reach of Cibus’ technology but also positions the company within one of the fastest-growing areas in agriculture, enabling farmers to produce more with fewer inputs through sustainable crop innovation.”
