As the CEO of Aequor, Inc. since 2008, Marilyn Bruno has been at the forefront of pioneering sustainable solutions in the biotech industry. Under her leadership, Aequor has emerged as a trailblazer in the development of "green," non-toxic chemical compounds derived from marine microbes. These innovative products are not only effective in combating harmful bacteria and fungi, including antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) superbugs, but also represent a significant shift towards environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional toxic biocides used across various sectors, including agro-industrial, consumer, and medical applications.
Marilyn's strategic vision has been instrumental in validating Aequor's lead chemical, which has demonstrated the remarkable ability to remove biofilms in mere minutes. This breakthrough has profound implications for industries reliant on maintaining clean and safe environments, such as cooling tower operations and closed-loop water systems. With a portfolio of 25 EPA/TSCA-approved chemicals, Aequor is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for safer, more effective cleaning solutions in both commercial and governmental sectors.
In addition to her expertise in biotech innovation, Marilyn brings a wealth of knowledge in risk management, corporate governance, and due diligence, ensuring that Aequor not only leads in product development but also adheres to the highest standards of compliance and ethical practices. Her multilingual skills in Spanish and English further enhance her ability to navigate the global landscape of biotech, fostering partnerships and collaborations that drive Aequor’s mission forward. As she continues to support founder Cynthia Burzell, Marilyn remains dedicated to advancing Aequor’s commitment to sustainability and public health, positioning the company as a leader in the fight against AMR and environmental degradation.
