You can contact me at phil@prairieaquatech.com.Food, Nutrition & Ag Biotechnology Technology ExecutiveFood and Feed Ingredient Technology | Protein Quality | Nutrition Science & Scientific Affairs | Human Health & Wellness | Agricultural Biotechnology | Technology & Strategic Collaboration Management |New Businesses Acquisition | Pipeline GrowthExecutive leader with food, feed, ingredient, health/wellness and agricultural biotechnology experience. Skilled in applying business/strategy development to drive research agenda to provide customers and consumers with valued solutions. Strong collaborator, people leader, and mentor. Strength in building and leading teams, and applying integrated solutions to build customer sales. The need for discovering and commercializing unique ingredient based solutions to enhance human health and wellness is greater than ever. Globally, we now face serious issues related to lifestyle choices, including diet and exercise, that manifest themselves in various metabolic conditions: cardiovascular diseases, pre-diabetes and diabetes, and sarcopenia, to name but a few.The opportunities to bring together the tools and techniques of systems biology and couple them with known and emerging technologies in food and nutrition science to enhance human health and wellness are both compelling and long overdue.My experiences from working in these areas for 25+ years have been both incredibly rewarding, but also frustrating in that during this same time period, we've seen numerous, beneficial technologies be dramatically slowed in their commercial adoption by misinformation from various special interests and by a lack of global harmonization of regulatory processes needed to assess and ensure the safety of use of new food and feed ingredients. I'm hopeful that more efficient and effective systems can and will be adopted so that the global nutrition and health challenges we all face can be more effectively and efficiently addressed.

Listed skills include Food Science, R&D, Biochemistry, Ingredients, and 31 others.
