Certis Biologicals announces a new global structure and appoints leaders, establishing three distinct regional business units: North America Region, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Region (EMEAA), and Latin America Region (LATAM).
 
With biological products sold through a global distribution network and in collaboration with various technology, regulatory and sourcing companies in more than 50 countries, each of these newly established business units and their designated leaders will streamline efforts to optimize performance and capitalize on emerging opportunities in their respective region. 
 
The following leaders have been elevated to oversee the newly established business units:

  • Chris Judd has been appointed vice president North America and will lead all Certis business in North America. 
  • Ryuataro Matsuhashi, vice president international, Latin America, will lead the Latin America Region and oversee the Certis Biologicals Mexican (Certis Agro Mexico) and Brazilian (Certis Biológicos do Brasil) entities.
  • Tarang Srivastava has been promoted to vice president international, EMEAA and will lead the Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Region in his new role.

"We are thrilled to announce these strategic organizational changes that allow us to hone our customer-driven approach and optimize resources,” said Amy O’Shea, president and CEO of Certis. “Through this business unit model, we are better positioned to meet the ever-changing needs of the industry, enabling us to drive growth and deliver greater value to our customers."
 
These changes reflect Certis’ committment to meeting the challenges faced by today’s growers around the globe to feed a growing population while sustaining the natural resources and environments necessary for a healthy planet.
