Working with new biotechnology developments across the European continent offers me the great opportunity to manage product and field development services to test, evaluate and help commercialize new technologies. These technologies are moving from traditional plant protection to plant health and biostimulants.

My background as a market development manager with a proven history of establishing business in foreign markets, I apply more than 20 years of marketing support and project management experience to clients’ challenges. My experience ranges from technical development, market strategy, product launch and portfolio management to budget planning and monitoring for agricultural companies throughout Europe in the areas of plant protection, nutrient management, plant health and agricultural soil biology.

I enjoy applying my technical understanding for more efficient management of research conducted by external sources.

The experiences as market development manager for AGRO.bio Hungary Kft., and technical and development leader for Agrova Kft gave me insights into the development challenges facing any new innovation or technology.

Positioning products for successful use is a core element of the AgriThority development services. I especially appreciate those innovations involving soils and biostimulants.
