Additionally, Chief Financial Officer Enrique Lopez Lecube will rotate off the Board, with Chief Commercial Officer Milen Marinov stepping into a board role.


Incoming Directors Bring Diverse Investment and Operational Backgrounds

Kolatch currently serves as a Principal at Jasper Lake LLC, a family investment office involved in both public and private markets. He previously held a partner role at Solel Partners, an investment firm with a focus on public equity and credit. He holds a BA in biochemistry from Columbia College.

Crocco brings over 30 years of financial and operational experience, including a long tenure at Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. (NYSE: APD), where he served as Chief Financial Officer and led corporate restructuring efforts. Most recently, he was CFO at Imperial Dade, a private equity-backed distribution company.

“We are confident that the deep experience, strategic insight and shared commitment of our new Board members will help us further refine our strategy and deliver value to shareholders and partners,” said Federico Trucco, CEO of Bioceres.


Departing Board Members Recognized for Key Contributions

The company acknowledged the contributions of outgoing directors Gloria Montaron Estrada and Keith McGovern.

“Gloria has been with Bioceres since before our public listing, initially as General Counsel and then as Board Member. She played a pivotal role in shaping our legal and regulatory strategy, including key milestones such as the Rizobacter acquisition and our IPO,” said Trucco.

Regarding McGovern, Trucco noted his involvement following Bioceres’ acquisition of Marrone Bio: “His insights have… helped us maintain a grounded, farmer-centric perspective on innovation and go-to-market efforts.”
