- Andre Oliveira

Andre’s career spans various roles and achievements:

StartedasafieldbiologistinBrazilandrapidlygrewintheorganizationandbecameaseniorexecutive,livingin7countries, leadingcomplexoperationsandimpactfulprojects

Notable highlights – creating new markets:

1. Launching a new insecticide for soybean seed treatment in Brazil as a “Vigor & Yield” enhancer

Discovered product provided vigor to soy plants, boosting productivity by 3-5%

Inspired the team to challenge the known and pivot to showcase the “Vigor & Yield” benets, positioning the product as relevant for total growing area (20 million hectares of soybean crop at that time), enlarging the playing eld by 10x as compared to a traditional positioning to target insects, which was a concern in only 10% of the growing area

Commercially launched CRUISER® in 2003, which achieved over $50 million in sales after two seasons

The idea expanded globally, earning Andre the “Syngenta Purpose Global Award”, the highest innovation recognition in the company

2. Introducing the rst ever seed treatment nematicide for eld cropsA breakthrough innovation in seed treatment

Setting the standard in seed-delivered insect, disease and rst ever nematode control, for a simple, safe and more convenient start to healthy, higher yielding crops. Andre introduced AVICTA Complete® technology disrupting the market and rapidly displacing old chemistries, treating more than 50 million acres of cotton, soybean and corn areas and surpassing $300 million in sales in the Americas and South Africa since its launch.

Where one can relax in the sun, feeling its warmth on your skin as a soft Mediterranean breeze carries the fragrance of sea salt and orange blossoms. Clear turquoise water gently laps a stony beach that invites you to take a cool swim inside it. The streets are charming with colorful houses, their bright colors enhanced by the fragrant blooming owers that overow from the window boxes. As you keep walking around, you will see a massive medieval castle on top of a hill that previews the city’s glorious past. It is not just in dreams; Nice is a delightful place on the French Riviera where every corner tells tales waiting to be discovered. However, what exactly creates such a lasting impact on this city? In this article, let’s explore why Nice is a gemstone along the Côte d’Azur.

Silicon Valley, known as one of the hubs of innovation, a story began to spread. It was the story of an accidental encounter between two great people who talked about planning the future. Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, whose names are forever etched in tech history, met by chance. The talk, directed by a mutual interest in exploring the limits of the impossible, sparked a revolution. This is the story of Intel—a living example of how a seed of idea, constant progress, and microprocessors made the impossible come true.

Security Vulnerabilities and Loss of Trust:

Like Meltdown and Spectre security vulnerabilities pulled down the trust and to deal with the issue a huge effort is required. These major security issues of its processors that could lead to cyberattacks are just examples of how these products can be used and misused in detrimental ways for the users and the brand. This is caused by a loss of condence and a bad name for the brand. Dealing with such weaknesses required both a great deal of engineering efforts and chip design redesign which in turn, had an even bigger implication on the loss of prot margin and further postponement of launching the products. The fallout of these vulnerabilities also signicantly impacted consumer perception while largely undermining its reputation. So, the company was forced to invest in xing this issue.
