New Leadership for Dow Global Pest Business

Dow AgroSciences announced that Stan Howell has assumed the responsibilities of vice president of Global Pest Management. Howell  replaces Elin Miller, who announced she is leaving Dow AgroSciences to pursue personal interests.

Howell, vice president of North America, Dow AgroSciences, will be merging Miller’s responsibilities into his current position, which involves responsibility for Dow’s crops business, turf and ornamental, range and pasture, and industrial vegetation management businesses. Howell actually will be returning to a position he formerly held at Dow AgroSciences. He served as vice president of Global Pest Management for Dow AgroSciences prior to Miller.

“I’m looking forward to getting reacquainted with the business, including the folks here at Dow AgroSciences and the customer base,” he said.

Howell said his goal is to continue to grow the Sentricon business. “We think that we have a very innovative termite solution in Sentricon. We remain very excited about that product and we’re looking forward to moving it forward,” he said. “Also, we recently received our Profume registration and we are excited about getting that product launched.”

Miller will be transitioning out of Dow AgroSciences by the end of the first quarter ’04.
