EcoSMART Announces Personnel Additions

FRANKLIN, Tenn. - EcoSMART recently hired three field business development managers and a government affairs manager to better focus on growth opportunities in areas of the country and market segments where trends favor reduced-risk and minimum-risk pesticides.

“EcoSMART has never had its own field representatives working a defined geographic territory, and with our growing product line of botanical products, the time had come for us to expand our presence in the marketplace,” says David Murphy, vice president of EcoSMART’s Commercial Division. “Through our partnership with Prentiss, we will continue working with Gary Ross (VP-Sales, Western Region) and Rob Cooper (VP- Sales, Eastern Region). With the addition of our own field managers, plus Jack Parker, our new National Sales Manager, EcoSMART continues to show its commitment to support its growing EcoPCO and EcoEXEMPT patented botanical product lines in the professional market.”

EcoSMART’s most recent field hires include:

• Guy Russell: Business Development Manager – Southern California
• Grayson Martin: Business Development Manager – Northern California / Northwest
• Pat Ryan: Business Development Manager – New England / New York / New Jersey

EcoSMART also recently hired Benjamin Taube as their government affairs manager to capitalize on opportunities in the government sector. “There is a growing interest in alternatives to conventional pesticides in the government market, and we wanted to hire a specialist to help us build relationships, and subsequently business, in this key segment.”

“We are fortunate to bring on board the level of talent and experience of Guy, Grayson and Pat to assist us in developing their respective markets,” continues Murphy. “And as the environmental manager for the city of Atlanta the past four years, Ben is the perfect hire for EcoSMART to build our business in the government market at the federal, state and local levels.”
