Bayer’s Environmental Science business unit within the Crop Science division recently welcomed four new team members to its Turf & Ornamentals business: Mark Clodfelter, insecticide product manager; Patrick Burgess, Ph.D, field development representative; Chad Hauth, area sales manager; and Bob Froelich, ornamental specialist.
“In just the past year, Bayer has launched a production ornamentals business and introduced three new innovations to the turf and ornamentals market,” said Jose Milan, head of the Bayer Turf and Ornamentals business. “With even more growth on the horizon for 2017, we continue to build an unrivaled team to provide maximum benefit to both our customers and the industries we serve. We are thrilled to welcome these talented individuals to the growing Bayer team.”
Bayer says that Clodfelter will lead strategic planning across the company’s insecticide portfolio, including forecasting and inventory management for the insecticides business, business development, product launch planning and support and life cycle management strategy. According to the company, Clodfelter joined Bayer with extensive experience in the commercial mowing and golf industries, specializing in strategic planning, brand management, product development, market research and marketing communications.
In his role, Burgess will be responsible for new concept and product development for the Bayer Turf & Ornamentals, Vector Control and Professional Pest Management businesses. Most recently serving as a researcher at Rutgers University, Burgess specialized in plant stress physiology. He also served as an instructor for the Rutgers Professional Golf Turf Management School.
Hauth will be responsible for cultivating relationships with Bayer customers and distributor partners in Illinois, southern Wisconsin and northern Indiana. Most recently serving as territory specialist with Growing Solutions, Hauth’s previous experience includes technical specialist with The SePRO Corporation as well as various roles with Harrell’s, which includes territory manager and sales representatives.
With more than 25 years in the horticulture industry, Bayer says that Froelich’s new role will be to help build relationships between the company, its customers and its distributors in the Production Ornamentals market. Froelich spent much of his career with Syngenta in various roles, such as key account manager with Syngenta Flowers, field representative with Ornamental Plant Protection and grower account manager with Syngenta Plant Health. He also served as marketing brand manager for plant protection within the Professional Business group of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Co.
