Genetics LLC announces the addition of Jack Walker to the
company’s Genetic Sales Staff.
Walker will be responsible for helping customers take advantage
of the latest in genetics and Agrisure® traits that are
represented by GreenLeaf Genetics. He is committed to helping
the GreenLeaf Genetics team provide personalized service based
on the needs of each seed company. “To make everything work you
have to match the genetics, traits, agronomic environment and
customer’s needs – and this is what I love to do,” said Walker.
According to Rich Hall, GreenLeaf Genetics Sales Lead, “Jack
Walker will allow us to reorganize our sales territories to
better fit our customers’ needs. His responsibility will include
most of the eastern U.S., while Roy Johnson, the current Eastern
representative, will assume a greater role in the central U.S.”
Walker spent the previous 24 years with Syngenta Seeds,
evaluating and positioning hybrids in the eastern U.S. to better
help his customers grow, profit and succeed.
A graduate of Wilmington College in Ohio, he also earned a
master’s degree in agronomy from the University of Illinois.
Walker resides in West Alexandria, Ohio, with his wife Diane and
their four children, and will continue to office from West
Alexandria.
