Arysta LifeScience announces staffing changes in its marketing group

Arysta LifeScience North America recently announced two additional staffing updates: Kevin Staska has moved into a new role as Marketing Manager for Biostimulants; and Michael Snyder will assume the Marketing Manager for Broad Acre Fungicides role vacated by Staska.

In his new position, Staska will focus on biostimulants, a key growth area for the company. "Kevin has been leading the efforts for Arysta LifeScience in biostimulants over the last year on top of the work he's been doing on fungicides, so this will allow him to focus 100% on this growing segment," said Hugh MacGillivray, Head of Marketing & Canada, Arysta LifeScience.

"He is uniquely qualified for this biostimulants role as it requires strong technical and business development skills, as well as marketing expertise, to be successful."

Additionally, Snyder will follow Staska as the company's Marketing Manager for Broad Acre Fungicides, responsible for the EVITO, FORTIX and ASTERA with αβpro brands. Snyder brings 30 years of commercial experience to his new role; he most recently served as a Marketing Manager for Chemtura AgroSolutions.

Snyder also has held positions with United Phosphorus, AMVAC, FMC, Monsanto and UAP. He received his bachelor of science in agronomy from Purdue University and holds a Master of Business Administration from Ball State University.

"Mike's understanding of the industry, its customers and overall brand management will bring immediate value to Arysta LifeScience," added MacGillvray. "His passion for agriculture and his knowledge in the industry make him a great fit in this important role within our fungicide team."
