Together with our partners, we will continue to build resilient, sustainable agricultural systems.”

As executive chairman, Pokorny will remain actively involved in shaping Bioline AgroSciences’ long-term strategic direction, supporting the leadership team, managing key client and partner relationships, and leading M&A and strategic development initiatives, ensuring continuity and alignment as the company scales.

“Bioline AgroSciences is entering a new phase that requires an increased focus on execution, discipline and speed,” said Pokorny. “Our priority remains the same: helping our customers and partners succeed.”
