Role: US Sales and Marketing Leader - Nitrogen Stabilizers
Years with Corteva: 16
Territory: US
I lead the dedicated sales team of stabilizer Strategic Account Managers as well as oversee the creation and execution of the strategic marketing plan for stabilizers in the US. Our team gets to wake up every day and focus only on N-Serve and Instinct, resulting in a high level of focus and support for our customers. I love helping customers understand and adopt the win-win-win mindset of stabilizing nitrogen. Using our products is a win for the retailer, a win for farmers and their crop, and a win for the environment. I am so proud to work with proven products that ultimately serve the greater good of agriculture and the world. I was one of those kids who thought our food came from the grocery store. Once I discovered there were career options in ag, there was no turning back. I’m passionate about helping farmers achieve their goals, telling their stories, and contributing to the industry that supports them.

I chose an ag career for three specific reasons: 1) I grew up around agriculture and truly enjoy my hometown ag community. 2) I wanted a career with longevity; and 3) I enjoy science and the ability to understand how our world can work better. Today, I work closely with my customers to develop strategies and goals for nitrogen stabilizers and management. I love focusing on a very specific category that I am passionate about. I am proud of our products because they are proven over several decades and benefit all of our stakeholders including distribution, retail, farmers, consumers, and likely others.

I fell in love with agriculture at a young age thanks to growing up on my family’s farm in west central Minnesota. There, I helped grow corn and soybeans. Today, I am honored to work with my customers to educate, assist and develop nitrogen strategies. Strategies that include stabilizers. The best part of my role is the opportunity to educate and train retailers and growers and other influencers about the marketplace.

I grew up on a small diversified farm in the bluffs of NE Iowa. I have a passion for agriculture and the people that support this industry. It truly is a small industry with salt of the earth people.

I’m from the small town of DeMotte, located in the northwest corner of Indiana. Growing up in this small ag community, I grew to appreciate the work ethic in agriculture, and knew it was something I wanted to be a part of every day. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to get to do that with Corteva. In my role as a Nutrient Maximizer SAM, I have the opportunity to strategically partner with some of the best agriculture retailers in the industry, to come alongside them and find ways to help them grow their business together. And grow their business for a good cause with our nitrogen stabilizer products – benefitting the farmer, the retailer, and the environment. Also in my role, I spend quite a bit of time educating and bringing light to the importance of managing nitrogen applications and using N-Serve and Instinct to do so. I love that in my role I get to focus day in and day out on a portfolio of products that I’m truly passionate about. I’m proud to tell the story of these products to our retail customers, our grower customers, and our communities of the consistent performance and all the benefit they continue to bring.
