• Working closely with growers, customers, sales and marketing teams across EAME, particularly in Northwest Europe.

• Translating grower feedback, market developments and technical insights into clear variety-positioning recommendations and customer solutions.

• Supporting customer visits, demonstrations, technical events, presentations and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
