Mr. Engvall has nearly 30 years of management and entrepreneurial experience in the areas of technology, manufacturing and operations and personnel management.

Most recently, Engvall and Tiainen, co-founded Pro Farm Technologies, a subsidiary of Marrone Bio Innovations in 2013. There he worked in various back-office functions throughout the company, crystalizing into a combined European operational lead for regulatory affairs and supply chain. His diligence resulted in securing EU Commission working group acceptance, allowing Pro Farm to successfully launch multiple, single dossier, pan-European nutritional seed treatments.

Prior to starting Pro Farm, Engvall worked in several dot.com or tech-service companies working in a variety of roles from finance and technical operations to new business development and personnel management.

Engvall has a passion for start-ups and was part of several new business concepts. As Chief Operations Officer for Dynamic5, he secured a Tekes (The Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation) grant for developing a mobile switch control app.
