Tinia Pina holds a B.S. degree in Business Information Technology from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and a Masters of Science degree from Columbia University. As a strong advocate for environmentally conscious waste management and regenerative agriculture, Pina has more than ten years of combined experience within the sustainability and finance industries.

While working as a volunteer SAT prep teacher in New York at the time,Tinia witnessed firsthand the immediate effects of limited healthy food options and how it impacted her students' productivity. In 2015, Pina founded Re-Nuble Inc., a NYC-headquartered, MWBE-certified social enterprise that utilizes organic cycling science (OCS) technology to convert crop residue and unrecoverable vegetative byproducts into a platform of sustainable technologies for growers. 

Pina's professional interests focus on using unique and distributed methodology to extract optimal value from organic waste streams within closed-loop agricultural practices. Her vision for Re-Nuble is to mimic nature by responsibly harvesting food source materials while valuing the commitment to a minimal ("or zero") carbon footprint, sustainable agriculture, and green operations. Tinia currently serves as a Board Member of Wild Gift and is Treasurer of the New York City Agriculture Collective. She has been awarded the American Express Emerging Innovator Award, the American Entrepreneurship Award, and the 2017 Innovator of the Year Award for her contributions to innovation in the field of science and sustainability.
