Katayoon Navabi, R&D lead for Canola North America with Nuseed, is a plant breeder by training. She was born and raised in Iran, moved to Canada in 2004 to complete a PhD in plant breeding and genetics at the University of Alberta. Since moving to Canada and with the beginning of the "green" movement in Iran, she has been an active member of the community trying to be the voice of the voiceless, in the international communities. She is one of the founders of the Paivand Society- An Iranian Canadian organization promoting cultural dialogue, in the aftermath of the Woman Life Freedom movement in Iran. She sits on a few committees advocating for Iran's civil movements, Mardom Foundation executive committee, and the Network of United to Stop Executions in Iran, to name a few.
