Nathan Danielson
I worked with Ron and the team at Nexant on a large study commissioned by the National Corn Growers Association. I was struck not only by Ron's encyclopedic knowledge of the chemical industry--both bio and conventional--but also how quickly he was able understand our needs and deliver a high quality product that delighted a diverse range of stakeholders from corn growers to government agencies. I highly recommend Ron.
