Eurofins Agroscience Services (EAS) announced two new appointments: James Nokes will be joining EAS LLC as Vice President, effective January 2019; Gregoire Boyen will be joining EAS Group as Head of Field Cluster, effective January 14th 2019. These are part of the ongoing Group commitment to strengthen the management team globally.
Graduating in 1998 with an M.S. in Microbiology from Middle Tennessee State University, James went on to work for Microbac Laboratories, Inc. for nearly 18 years, enjoying a number of senior positions during his time there, culminating in Sr. VP and Managing Director.
He joins EAS Group from SGS where he was Vice President (United States), bringing a wealth of scientific experience in addition to a strong business ethic and a commitment to building focused and dedicated teams.
James will be responsible for developing the North American business service and achieving success by providing support, leadership and vision to the EAS organisation based in the USA.
This new leadership for EAS LLC is particularly important post-EAG Laboratories acquisition; the US portfolio has seen a gear-shift in terms of capabilities and capacities which will positively impact clients across the board.
Gregoire, a true business leader, graduated with an Executive MBA from Reims Management School in 1997 before stepping into his first professional role. He joins us from GROUPE ROULLIER, a global, family owned Agribusiness manufacturer, where he enjoyed a number of senior management roles in the Latin American arm of the organisation before taking up the position of Director of Strategic Relations.
With a passion for strategy & business management, Gregoire brings a wealth of experience and know-how to the Group.
Gregoire succeeds Christophe Dumas who, after three years with EAS Group, leaves to develop a family owned business; his contribution to the success of the business is recognised by his colleagues and peers at EAS.
