With the CEO transition now complete, and ArborGen's refocussed growth strategy in place combined with a strong balance sheet, ArborGen is well positioned to achieve its growth objectives leveraging its leadership position in advanced genetics to transform forestry productivity. I wish the team all the very best." Sharon will remain in a consulting role to ArborGen for a period of time to ensure a smooth transition of her responsibilities.
