ABOUT DAVID NOTHMANN

I scale science‑driven agriculture and biological innovations into global, commercially durable businesses. My career has centered on transforming breakthrough technologies into market‑ready solutions—building the commercial engines, teams, and global reach required to turn innovation into revenue, category leadership, and long‑term enterprise value.I’ve led organizations across the North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia through periods of rapid expansion, restructuring, and strategic repositioning. Whether launching new biological platforms, entering new markets, or rebuilding commercial systems, I focus on disciplined execution, customer‑backed strategy, and talent development as the foundation for sustainable growth.What I’m known for: Scaling startups and mid‑sized companies with full P&L accountability Building commercial engines—pricing, channel strategy, portfolio focus, and global go‑to‑market Turning science into adoption through data‑driven positioning and farmer‑centric value creation Expanding internationally with speed, clarity, and operational discipline Developing high‑performance teams and leaders who thrive in fast‑moving environments Creating categories in biologicals, regenerative agriculture, and agtech platformsI believe agriculture is at an inflection point—where biology, data, and global market forces are reshaping how value is created. My work centers on helping companies navigate that complexity and scale with purpose, rigor, and global ambition.If you’re building the next generation of ag innovation and need a growth‑driven, globally seasoned executive voice, I’m always open to a conversation.
