CIBUS Appoints New President/CEO, Opens New EU Office
20 January 2009 San Diego, California, US-based Cibus LLC – a leading plant trait development technology company – announced that it has named LaDon Johnson as CEO and president of its new Netherlands office, Cibus International.
“Cibus is expanding its activities outside of the United States to fully leverage its proprietary RTDS technology and its benefits to the international agricultural community,” said Cibus president Keith Walker. “To do this, LaDon Johnson is establishing a presence in one of our key markets, Europe. We’re pleased to have LaDon on board to deliver sound financial strategy and grow our global presence around Cibus’ RTDS technology.”
Cibus’ proprietary gene conversion technology, RTDS, enables seed producers to develop plants that are quicker to market with less regulatory expense. RTDS technology is a non-transgenic approach for providing plant improvements as compared to classical genetic transformation, a process leading to GM products. Cibus partners include BASF, Valent U.S.A. Corporation, and The National Sorghum Producers.
