ABOUT MEJASON HAMM | FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT
Scientific depth.
Commercial perspective.
I am an agricultural scientist and commercial strategist with 15+ years of global experience, including DuPont Crop Protection and FMC Agricultural Solutions. With a Ph.D. in Entomology and an MBA in International Business, I help agricultural innovators align scientific evidence, product development, and market strategy across crop protection, biologicals, biostimulants, and biofertilizers.
Critical product decisions are made years before launch: which trials to run, markets to target, claims the evidence can support, and investments to prioritize. I have worked on both sides of those decisions and now advise startups, established companies, and investors on moving forward with greater clarity.
