Seva is an exceptional leader of our R&D organization, where he and his team oversee one of the most advanced pipelines of new innovations in the agricultural industry.
"I want to thank Diane for her immense contributions to FMC. She is a highly respected leader not only within our company, but across the crop protection industry.
