On October 29, 2018, S&W Seed Company implemented an internal reorganization, principally to structure its management team along geographic lines instead of functional lines. As part of the reorganization, the company promoted David Callachor to the position of Executive Vice President, International, reporting directly to Mark Wong, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Callachor was previously Commercial Manager - Hybrid Crops for the Company. Mr. Callachor is a senior agribusiness executive with over 20 years of experience in the agriculture industry, including extensive international experience in hybrid seeds, traits and new technologies. Mr. Callachor has worked with several global seed companies prior to joining S&W earlier this year, including Advanta Seeds and, most recently, Limagrain as Group Sales Manager for South East Asia. He also has worked with Landmark, an Agrium Company, for several years in Australia. The company appointed Don Panter as Executive Vice President, Americas, also reporting directly to Mr. Wong. Mr. Panter has more than 20 years of experience as an agribusiness executive, with time spent in both start-up and turn-around business situations and expertise in such areas as product/project development, global business, strategic planning and technology evaluation. Mr. Panter has held senior leadership positions at several seed and biotechnology companies including Stoneville Pedigreed Seed, Emergent Genetics, Harris Moran Seed Company and Mendel BioEnergy Seeds. Most recently, Mr. Panter was President and CEO of American DairyCo, a private equity-held, U.S.-based commercial dairy company consisting of about 10,000 dairy cows and agricultural operations across 5,000 acres in Florida and Georgia. Danielson B. Gardner and Dennis C. Jury have been reassigned from their prior positions as Chief Marketing and Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Operations and Chief Operating Officer, respectively. Mr. Gardner has been appointed as Senior Vice President, Technology and Breeding for the Americas, and Mr. Jury has been appointed as Senior Vice President, International Production and Supply Chain.
