Nano-Yield is excited to announce that Mike Jackson has recently been promoted to Director of Sales for the Eastern US. Mike’s passion for the industry began at a young age, rooted in his experience raising 4-H pigs. This early connection to agriculture has flourished over the decades, guiding him through various sales, management, and leadership roles since 1996. His dedication and expertise have made him a valuable asset in the ag industry, where he has worked with multiple seed, chemistry, and fertilizer companies. With a BS in Ag Business Management from Purdue University, Mike’s practical and common-sense approach to business has earned him respect and admiration from both colleagues and customers alike.

Mike states, “I believe in serving our customers and helping them be wildly successful with our products. The better we can lead our customers, the more success they will experience. People want to believe and be a part of something.” Mike has been crucial to the rapid growth and success of bringing nanotechnology products to the Midwest in just his three short years with Nano-Yield. Jenny Phillips, Director of Marketing for Nano-Yield, states, “Mike has been my colleague and mentor for over 6 years now, and I couldn’t imagine a more deserving person to fulfill this role.
