Central Life Sciences (CLS), Schaumburg, Ill., has promoted Mark Taylor to VP of sales and marketing for the Agricultural Products division. In his new role, Taylor will oversee marketing and profit-and-loss responsibilities for the livestock, grain storage and processing, horticulture, turf and ant control in food crops segments. Taylor’s division includes the ClariFly Larvicide, Altosid Insect Growth Regulator (IGR), Starbar and Diacon IGR product lineups. Taylor has been with CLS for more than 12 years, most recently serving as director of marketing for the Agricultural Products division since 2012.
Taylor assumes the responsibilities for the Agricultural Products division from Scott Boutilier, whose role has expanded to include responsibility for active ingredient sales, Canada and other international business. Boutilier will remain as VP of sales and marketing overseeing the Zoëcon Professional Products (ZPP) division, which includes the company’s professional pest and mosquito control products.
Prior to joining CLS, Taylor held various sales and marketing roles with Alpharma Animal Health. Further, he was a technical service specialist with Merrick Inc. Taylor earned both his bachelor’s degree in agricultural science and master’s degree in animal nutrition from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
“We are excited to announce these new roles, as both Mark and Scott have been integral to the growth and success of the Agricultural Products and ZPP segments,” says CLS President Frank Jusich.
Boutilier has been with CLS for more than 15 years, previously holding marketing roles at LESCO and Ringer/Safer. Boutilier earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Idaho, studying entomology with a minor in chemistry. He then studied insect biochemistry at the University of Minnesota.
