Jeffrey A Tweedy

Jeff has been with Plant Health Care since October 2017. In 2019, Jeff was promoted to Chief Operating Officer and Executive Board member after leading the growth of the Commercial business in North and South America. Under Jeff’s leadership, the go-to-market strategy was transformed to align Plant Health Care’s technology with several of the largest distributors globally to broaden market access for Harpin αβ.

The recent growth of the North American Commercial business has been due to several exclusive distribution agreements signed for Harpin αβ. The first was signed with a leading supplier to the USA corn grower market, which has given the Group access to the 90 million-acre USA corn market. The second agreement was with Wilbur-Ellis, one of the largest USA agriculture distributors, for applications to specialty crops (fruits and vegetables) which comprises more than 7 million acres in the USA. Since 2019, these two agreements have delivered a Harpin αβ revenue CAGR of 53% and $2.4 million of revenue in 2021.
