AgriThority® Adds European Regulatory & Account Manager with Broad Biologic Expertise

AgriThority®, an agricultural science consultancy specializing in accelerating new technologies to commercialization in markets around the world, welcomes Estefanía Hinarejos as regulatory and account manager for Europe.

Hinarejos is well-versed in the development of biostimulants, biofertilizers and biopesticides, including significant experience in the regulatory pathways for these bio-inputs. Throughout her professional career she has completed research and submitted patents related to Bacillus subtilis genus, Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacterias (PGPR's) and organic regenerators for soil.

As regulatory and account manager, Hinarejos will lead regulatory and market access projects for clients associated with agronomic and horticulture crops in Europe.
