Background

About Chris Steele

As a Business Development Manager at Crop Intellect, I identify and pursue new business opportunities, sales leads, and collaborations for the company's cutting-edge crop technologies. With over 25 years of experience in the food and agricultural industries, I have a strong background in agronomy, agribusiness, and food science, and a passion for enhancing crop productivity and sustainability. Previously, I was a Crop Diagnostics Product Manager at Microgenetics, where I launched and marketed SwiftDetect, a rapid test that can detect a single cell of disease within six hours, giving farmers and agronomists early warning and results within 24 hours. I also recruited new farmer members and expanded the straw-buying area for AF Biomass, and promoted EM and Agrovital products as a Technical Sales Manager for EM Agriton. I have authored and co-authored multiple publications on soil management, irrigation, and environmental best practices for potato production. I am always eager to learn new skills and technologies, and to share my knowledge and expertise with others.
