Tricia Carey Joins Avalo to Lead Sustainable Cotton Launch
Avalo Inc., a Durham-based AI-driven crop evolution company, has appointed Tricia Carey as Chief Commercial Officer. A recognized leader in sustainable textile innovation, Carey will lead the market rollout of Avalo’s low-input cotton—a new variety requiring no irrigation and up to 30% less fertilizer.
This cotton, developed in collaboration with Texas farmers, represents a major advance in sustainable agriculture and offers a lifeline to drought-prone regions. Tricia brings a wealth of experience from companies like Tencel™ and Renewcell, and will now help brands address supply chain emissions and rising costs.
Avalo plans to expand this model to other crops like sugarcane, rice, and rubber, in pursuit of a more resilient, equitable, and eco-friendly global agriculture system.
