During her tenure as Chief Science Officer at Soli Organic, Tessa Pocock worked to move their growing systems and technology into the future. Tessa now works as Independent Light Consultant and her Summit keynote presentation is titled “Light: Nature versus Nurture in Plants” and will cover dynamic lighting in nature and the greenhouse, circadian rhythms, and sole source lighting.

Tessa Pocock has worked in horticulture for 40 years and has practical, business and academic experience in CEA. She joined Soli three years ago from her position as Director of Light Optimization at Plenty where she worked closely with engineers and growers to develop crop growth and screening protocols, light recipes and biological sensors. Tessa is originally from Canada and has lived and worked in Sweden and the U.S.A. and thus has had the opportunity to work with and experience CEA systems worldwide
