Plant Impact gets new CEO
Environmental technology business Plant Impact (LON:PIM) has announced that John Brubaker will be its next chief executive officer.
Brubaker will become CEO on 1 September and he succeeds Peter Blezard, who has resigned.
Until recently, Brubaker was the global head of business development for Tokyo-based Arysta LifeScience Corporation – a 9.1 per cent shareholder in Plant Impact and a commercial partner of the firm.
Prior to Arysta, Brubaker was the director of business development at R4 Global Solutions – a San Francisco-based technology start up that has since been acquired by Verisign.
“On behalf of the board of directors, I am delighted that the company has secured the commitment of such a high calibre individual to lead it as the CEO,” said David Jones, Plant Impact’s chairman. “Plant Impact is expanding its customer base internationally while continuing to invest in innovative new technologies, and further developing its relationships with strategic partners. For this new and exciting phase of the company’s growth, the board is confident that John will bring the right blend of skill and experience to Plant Impact.”
Plant Impact develops and sells product designed to improve the health of crops.
At the start of July, the firm reported that its turnover for the year to the end of March increased to £1.8 million from £1.4 million in 2010, although pre-tax losses widened to £1.9 million (2010: £1.7 million) due to increased R&D spending and a delay in its BugOil product getting regulatory clearance.
