Pivot Bio expands growth office to accelerate strategic partnerships, digital enablement and global market expansion

The Growth Office now integrates corporate strategy, M&A, business development, growth operations, digital platforms and IT. This unified structure positions Pivot Bio to execute with greater precision across new markets, leveraging its position to bring partners together, deploy digital tools to enable the channel in a new way and seek new acquisitions.

The Growth Office is led by Chief Growth Officer Ryan Degnan. He'll be joined by John Henkhaus, a veteran in agriculture systems and microbial technologies, who has brought expertise to Pivot Bio over the last nearly seven years. In addition to his experience growing and scaling Pivot Bio, Henkhaus led business development for biologicals and seed applied solutions for approximately six years at Bayer Crop Science and spent 11 years as vice president, genome mapping for commercial and research and development (R&D) at OpGen. His leadership in the Growth Office will further strengthen Pivot Bio's ability to build a network of technology partners and deploy revolutionary crop-nutrition products at scale.

"As we continue to scale, this evolution sharpens our ability to operate as a platform – connecting innovation with the strategic partnerships, infrastructure, and channels required to drive transformative impact," said Chris Abbott, CEO of Pivot Bio. "By merging strategy, partnerships and growth operations under one integrated function, Ryan, John and their team are building the foundation for powerful network effects that will accelerate adoption, expand our partner ecosystem and unlock long-term value across global agriculture." The team is advancing strategic partnerships across North and South America, including initiatives in the US and Brazil, where Pivot Bio is scaling its microbial nitrogen solutions and unlocking new commercial opportunities.

"Our focus is on building an integrated platform that delivers science-backed, capital-efficient growth," said Degnan. "The Growth Office is a launchpad for strategic initiatives and partnerships that combine breakthrough technology, global market reach, strong commercial execution and a digitally enabled platform approach."

The expansion reflects Pivot Bio's continued momentum as it redefines how global agriculture feeds, clothes and fuels the world – more sustainably, more profitably and more reliably.
