Most recently, he served as an Executive in residents for the Challenge 2050 Project where he has not only communicated the opportunities in Agriculture/Veg Seed business to students but also served as a mentor to students interested in careers within the Agriculture industry.The primary focus during my career has been to motivate and bring out the best in others, maintain a high degree of customer centricity always placing the customer at center, willingness to collaborate and work cross-functionally with others, be a kind and upbeat positive personality, and for the quintessential Seedsmanship professionalism.
