Agrolab is pleased to announce the appointment of Louise Lading as the new CEO of Agrolab Holding and the subsidiary Agrolab Field, effective August 4, 2025.

Louise Lading brings 20 years of experience in the life sciences and plant protection industry from her time at Bayer, including 12 years in leadership roles. Her work has spanned both Nordic and international teams, giving her a strong understanding of the market and stakeholder landscape.

“I am truly excited to start this new chapter and to work closely with Agrolab’s customers, colleagues and management team. Together, we will ensure that Agrolab remains the preferred partner through unique services and a strong customer focus,” says Louise Lading.

With a background in agronomy and a professional focus on regulatory science, product development, and strategic innovation, Louise Lading is well-positioned to lead Agrolab into its next phase. She brings strong expertise at the interface between technical development, regulation, strategic planning and business, combined with a passionate people leadership style and a collaborative, strategic mindset.

She shares Agrolab’s mission to ensure a safe and sustainable food supply, both for people and the environment, and sees great opportunity in driving innovation and collaboration forward.

Louise takes over the role from Martin Gejl, who will now fully dedicate his time to leading innovation and digital transformation efforts as Innovation Manager at Agrolab's R&D department. An effort to meet the company vision of expanding and developing our services in line with the evolving needs of our clients.

“We’re entering an exciting new chapter, and Louise brings the leadership, customer insight, and innovation mindset to support us in taking the next step. I am very excited and proud to announce that Agrolab will now have a CEO fully dedicated to this role, as it is what the organisation deserves,” says Martin Gejl.

Earlier this year, Agrolab restructured into two subsidiaries, Agrolab Field and Agrolab Consulting, to better reflect its increasingly specialised services and expanding client base. Sandra Schmidt Jørgensen will continue in her role as CEO of Agrolab Consulting, leading the company’s regulatory consulting services. The appointment of a dedicated CEO for Agrolab Holding and Agrolab Field supports this growth and reinforces Agrolab’s position as a trusted partner for scientific field trials, regulatory expertise, and future-forward agricultural solutions.
