I am a crop protection agrobiologist with a PhD in crop protection/crop health and molecular biology and the author of more than 100 peer-reviewed and popular articles, books and patents in Agrobiology, Crop Protection Formulation- and Product Development, and Strategic R&D Management.
My experience includes 25+ years in Academic and Industrial Crop Protection and Plant Health R&D, Innovation and Strategic R&D Management.
In 2017 I founded BioScience Solutions to provide independent Strategic R&D Management consulting expertise that drives growth, profitability, and sustainability for startup and mid-tier Crop Protection and AgChem companies. In 2019 I authored the LabCoat Guide to Crop Protection to provide an easily accessible introduction to essential principles of pesticide and biopesticide mode of action and formulation, biostatistics and strategic R&D management. In 2022 I founded BioScience Academy to provide in-house and online corporate training in Crop Protection R&D.
As an independent Strategic Research and Development Management Advisor, I work with clients on a long-term basis, combining knowledge and experience with objectivity to provide expertise for ongoing Strategic R&D challenges, and Crop Protection and Plant Health R&D innovation. As a trusted partner, I contribute to solving narrow, well-defined problems with R&D and product development on a project basis.
I work on ongoing, long-term projects and assist clients in improving their systems and processes over time, helping them achieve their goals and overarching purpose for long-term success by identifying potential opportunities, designing new strategies and helping companies implement them.
