"Christian has established the CropLife brand, strengthening dialogue with key stakeholders in civil society, international organizations, governments, and the media. He has been an eloquent ambassador for the industry in many forums. We appreciate his hard work on behalf of the plant science industry and his relentless focus on the benefits these technologies offer to agricultural productivity, environmental protection and global development," said Howard Minigh, president and CEO of CropLife International.

The association noted that the position will not be filled, though several new personnel have been added recently to the CropLife International team. Denise Dewar (Executive Director of Plant Biotechnology), Craig Rickard (Advocacy and Regulatory Affairs Plant Biotechnology), Michelle Lopez (Intellectual Property and Trade, Crop Protection and Plant Biotechnology) and D’Arcy Quinn (Anti-counterfeiting, Crop Protection) have joined the staff and add strength to the team to deal with key plant science industry issues.
