Alltech Crop Science creates new CEO position
Andrew Thomas brings over 30 years of international management experience and proven success in the agri-food and seed industries to the newly created CEO position at Alltech’s crop division, said the US firm.
Thomas has been appointed to lead the global team and further cultivate the strategic growth of Alltech Crop Science.
“We believe there is tremendous potential within global crop production to cultivate a more promising future,” said Dr Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech. “We felt it was essential to appoint a CEO to lead the charge, and we specifically sought someone with international experience, and proven commercial success."
Most recently, Thomas served as CEO of WISErg Corporation, a circular economy business based in Seattle, Washington, USA, that diverts waste streams to sustainable agricultural inputs.
Previously, Thomas served in executive management roles for the plant breeding and seed company, Nuseed, as the business successfully expanded both its geographic footprint and its pipeline of technologies and products across multiple crops.
