DURHAM, NC — February 23, 2011. Clarkston Consulting, a leading consulting firm to the life science and consumer products industries, today announced that Greggory K. Storey, Ph.D., will join Clarkston as the Executive Director, Center for Science and Innovation. Storey has worked within the agriculture value chain for over 20 years and has extensive experience with major producers, food companies and industry associations.

In his new role, Storey will leverage his depth of industry experience to help Clarkston Consulting’s clients develop strategies and execute on their mandate to improve food safety, traceability and sustainability. This science and process discipline approach will enable these market leading companies to cost effectively revolutionize how agricultural entities can share information relating to the food value chain to bring new levels of process efficiency, revenue opportunities and risk assurance to the market. Major retailers and consumers are demanding more from food companies.

“Gregg has a solid track record for building relationships within the food value chain. His experience, coupled with his considerable knowledge of the value chain is exactly what we need to enable the company for accelerated growth. We are very proud to have an executive of his caliber join our team,” said Tom Finegan, co-founder and CEO, Clarkston Consulting.

At Bayer, Gregg built strong relationships between the agricultural community and the company’s extensive product development team.

“By directly involving all aspects of the food value chain, including growers, food companies, retailers and the consumer, Clarkston Consulting, with their solid, client-centric history has positioned themselves to take an innovative step forward in a growing market,” said Storey. “This is a very exciting time to be joining Clarkston and I feel fortunate to be playing a key role in the industry by helping value chain partners trace, document and share their story of the positive contributions they make toward feeding the world.”
