Dr. Jacqueline Applegate to head Environmental Science at Bayer
Jul. 2, 2015
Effective July 1, longtime Bayer Executive Dr. Jacqueline Applegate will become Head of Environmental Science, the non-agricultural business operations unit of Bayer CropScience. Environmental Science has annual sales of EUR 678 million (2014) and offers an innovative product range for non-agricultural weed and pest control for both professionals and consumers.
Applegate, who will be based at the unit’s headquarter in Lyon, France, succeeds Dr. Gunnar Riemann, who has decided to leave the company to pursue other career opportunities. In her new role, Applegate will also become a member of the Bayer CropScience Executive Committee.
During her 23-year-career at Bayer, Applegate (49) has held several management positions with Environmental Science, most notably President of its North America business from 2010 to 2012. An American national, she first joined Environmental Science as Head of Global Portfolio Management located in Lyon, France in 2005 and became President of Bayer Advanced Consumer Lawn & Garden USA in 2007.
Until recently, Applegate was Senior Bayer Representative and Bayer CropScience Country Head Australia and New Zealand. She began her career with Bayer back in 1992 as Process Development Chemist in Product Supply, located in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. Applegate then moved to Monheim, Germany, in 1998 and was appointed Head of Global Project Management in 2002.
