Helen Greiner is the co-founder and former president of iRobot. Under her leadership, iRobot Corporation delivered robots into the industrial, consumer, and military markets. iRobot became a household name in 2002 with the Roomba, the hands-off, robotic vacuum cleaner.

Greiner also founded CyPhy Works, now known as Aria Insights, which manufactures robust drones that can fly autonomously for long hours and even weeks. The drones were deployed in Iraq and Syria with the Army and Special Forces, where they are reported to have saved lives in war zones. Greiner was CEO until 2016, and CyPhy was sold to NASDAQ[FLIR]. In addition to combat, her robots have resulted in the initiation of the Mars rover program and the exploration of the Great Pyramids.

In 2020, Greiner became the CEO and Chairperson of Tertill, where she brings the disruptive technology of robotics to the gardening industry. Tertill is dedicated to helping people enjoy the health and wellness benefits of gardening, with their flagship product being a garden-weeding robot.
