Nate Zwald has joined ABS Global, Inc., the world leader in bovine genetics, reproduction services and technologies, as the Chief Operating Officer – Dairy (COO). ABS Global is a division of Genus plc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe sought a COO with deep dairy genetics expertise, a strong commercial execution focus, and a talented people leader. Nate has all this and more,\u201d said Karim Bitar, Genus plc CEO. \u201cWe are thrilled to have Nate on board and are excited about the value he brings to this important position.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zwald received his Ph.D. in dairy cattle genetics and MBA from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. He completed his Ph.D. while working for Alta Genetics and subsequently worked for the company in a number of North American and global roles. He most recently worked as the U.S. general manager for the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth our ABS customers and employees are valuable and important,\u201d Zwald said. \u201cFocus on building and empowering our people to make a valued difference for our customers will be reflected positively in the company results. ABS Global has a great history and a strong global brand; I\u2019m excited to add to the next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Passionate about the dairy industry, and the role that genetics plays in its future, Nate has shown leadership for the larger industry by sitting on the Board of the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB) and has been on the board of the National Association of Animal Breeders (NAAB) for the past 5 years. Throughout his career, Nate has stayed closely connected to the genetic program of his family dairy, Bomaz Farms. They have produced well-known industry and ABS sires including 29HO11153 Homestead, 29HO11849 Boulder, and more recently, young genomic sires 29HO18382 Daredevil and 29HO18611 Skywalker. Nate and his wife, Angela, have three children, all of which are avid Wisconsin Badger fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
