Here’s a round-up of new hires in the pork industry.
Banaszak Joins NOVUS Team
Adam Banaszak has joined NOVUS as director of global channel management. In this new role, he’s responsible for solidifying the leader in intelligent nutrition as the top choice for distributors of animal nutrition solutions, the company said in a relase.
“For the past few years, the NOVUS team has done an amazing job of refocusing the business and setting a trajectory for growth,” Banaszak said in a release. “My goal is to enable that growth in markets where we work through channel partners, i.e. distributors.”
Banaszak comes to NOVUS from Trouw Nutrition where he served as general manager responsible for all aspects of the company’s export business across major markets in Asia Pacific from South Korea to New Zealand. He is based in Thailand.
NOVUS Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Ed Galo says Banaszak’s expertise in commercial leadership and business development made him a perfect fit for this new role.
Managing distributors has been a critical element of Banazak’s most recent experience and, having done that across many markets and cultures, he said he feels confident he can add value to “the already amazing NOVUS team, not by myself, but rather by becoming a part of the global NOVUS team.”
