Novus Moves Innovation to the Top Leadership at Novus International, Inc., recently announced changes to its corporate structure that, the company states, literally moves innovation and R&D to the top of the organization. In its monthly company meeting,
President and CEO Dan Meagher shared that Alfred Zimmerman would join the Executive Leadership Team as Chief Innovation Officer. “Innovation needs to become part
of our DNA,” Meagher said. “It is an integral part of our long-term strategic plans and must be elevated within the organization.” Zimmerman has been with Novus since 2015, most recently serving
as Senior Director of Strategic Innovation & Product Management. He was instrumental in the partnership with biotechnology company Agrivida Inc. that was announced in January. In the role, Zimmerman will work with the company’s R&D teams
to identify ways to grow the specialty product line while also looking outside Novus for opportunities to bring new technologies and services to customers. He said he’ll work to instill an innovative mindset in his colleagues. “Innovation is more than just products,” Zimmerman said. “It’s
bringing new thoughts and direction to our technologies and capabilities as an organization.”
Zimmerman said he wants to develop more collaboration within
the Novus workforce that will help cultivate and create new ideas, eventually leading to new services and solutions. During the meeting, Meagher
also announced a new role within the leadership team. Uwe Ranft was named Chief Strategic Marketing and Technology Officer. In this role, Ranft will focus on strengthening the company’s Strategic Marketing and Technical Service teams and oversee the strategic accounts business. This new role has been created to build a strong, customer-focused organization that leads the overall approach for species-solutions messaging and go-to-market strategies. “I envision building a strong, species-focused organization that
supports the business, facilitates and drives the change from product- focus to species solutions, and ultimately accelerates the focus on strategic accounts,” Ranft said. Ranft has been with Novus for 17 years and most recently served
as Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). With Ranft stepping away from that role, CEO Dan Meagher
announced that Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer for Americas, Ed Galo, would become chief commercial officer for EMEA as well.
