“As a leading provider of identification and monitoring systems, Allflex is well-equipped to build the future of animal health.

He has a 28-year career in the animal health industry, with experience in sales, marketing, distribution and technology in domestic and global markets for Merck Animal Health and several predecessor companies.

"Paul’s extensive background in the animal health business, and strong focus on the customer will serve him well in this new role,” says Jeroen van de Ven, Chief Operating Officer, Antelliq.“Paul will continue the legacy of  bringing data driven solutions and animal well-being  to lead our North America team.”
