Colin Bletsky grew up in Eastern Saskatchewan on a third-generation family farm growing canola, oats
and wheat, a tradition he and his family continue each year during seeding and harvest. Today the
majority of Colin’s time is spent helping other organizations and farmers grow their business, both
locally and globally.


Colin is currently the Chief Operating Officer for MustGrow Biologics Corp., where he is responsible in
helping growers produce pest free crops utilizing natural, science-based technologies. This responsibility
is currently focused on bringing the global agricultural science to cannabis and hemp grower. With a
passion for utilizing natural technologies, he is also helping producers and consumers in multiple
industries understand what nature has to offer to help in production, shipping and storage of food.
Having an entrepreneurial passion, Colin formed CNB Ag Consulting Inc. and has been working with
many global clients. Utilizing his close to 30 years of Agricultural and business experience he is helping
clients understand global ag production markets and the value chains.
During his time as Vice President of Novozymes, Colin was responsible for managing the company’s
global BioAg business, ensuring sustainable growth for Novozymes and its partners. Within his role
Colin set strategy and direction, and managed partnering activities with internal and external
stakeholders. He was also a member of the Monsanto and Novozymes Alliance board. From 2010 to
2014, Colin worked in Novozymes BioAg Business Development and Account Management, which
spanned North America, South America, Australia, Europe and Asia.
In addition to the family farm, Colin gained agricultural experience through his time in the retail and
seed industry with several companies, including Pioneer, in rural Saskatchewan in the late 90s. He then
spent close to ten years with increasing management and project responsibilities in sales and marketing,
nationally and internationally, in the crop protection industry with Syngenta.
