As the Founder and CEO of crop.zone hybrid herbicide, I am passionate about creating sustainable solutions for weed control that are safer for the environment and human health. I drive innovation at crop.zone, a technology company transforming agriculture with sustainable alternatives to chemical herbicides. Our patented hybrid system—combining high-voltage application with our proprietary volt.fuel—enables residue-free crop desiccation and weed control, increasing yields, lowering input costs, and improving soil health. With over 35 systems deployed and strategic partnerships including John Deere, Nufarm, and PepsiCo, we are scaling our impact across a €20 billion global herbicide market. My focus lies in strategic growth, international partnerships, and enabling farmers to transition toward more sustainable and profitable practices.
