  • Negotiate pricing, commercial agreements, and strategic partnerships.
  • Collaborate with Technical Agronomy, Marketing, Supply Chain, Finance, and Executive Leadership to achieve customer and business objectives.
  • Convert trials, demonstrations, and grower demand into scalable commercial opportunities.
