Ant\u00f3nio Saraiva takes office at a time of growth in the activities of the Elvas CoLAB and marks a new phase in the development and consolidation of the InPP.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ant\u00f3nio Saraiva has solid experience as a manager of well-known companies in the agricultural business in the private and public sectors, having been general manager of Syngenta in Portugal and Spain, he has taken on responsibilities for Iberia, with marked leadership in various areas such as sustainability, logistics, coordination of human resources, strategic planning and project development in various sectors. CoLAB's new CEO will lead a team of 44 employees and is focused on consolidating and developing InPP's leadership path in the national agricultural sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With national and international experience, Ant\u00f3nio Saraiva, who has a degree in Agronomy from the Instituto Superior de Agronomia of the University of Lisbon, has worked at Syngenta Crop Protection in Portugal and Spain, holding the position of Sustainability Director for Africa, the Middle East and Turkey for three years. Ant\u00f3nio was also responsible for chairing the National Plant Protection Industry Association - ANIPLA (now CropLife Portugal) for eight years, from 2001 to 2009. Between 2012 and 2018 he was chairman of the Board of Directors of Companhia das Lez\u00edrias. During this period he was also chairman of the board of the Vila Franca de Xira Lez\u00edria Grande Beneficiaries Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most recently, Ant\u00f3nio Saraiva was Executive Director of Portugal Nuts - Association for the Promotion of Dried Fruit. \u201cIt is with an enormous sense of responsibility and great motivation that I enter this phase of this ambitious project. I've followed its evolution with great interest and I'm delighted to see the progress made with its implementation and with the work carried out by Pedro Fevereiro and the other CoLAB professionals,\u201d says Ant\u00f3nio Saraiva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Pedro Fevereiro, \u201cthis is an appropriate time to hand over the leadership of InPP to Ant\u00f3nio. InPP is closing a strategic cycle of innovation, sustainability, successful partnerships, a focus on proximity to clients and partners and a strong internal organizational culture that remain the essence of CoLAB. I'm sure that Ant\u00f3nio's experience as a successful leader and strong alignment with InPP's culture and values will drive a new cycle of growth for CoLAB. I will still be connected to InPP for some time, but I feel that this is the right time to start a new chapter in the organization and also in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the month of December, Pedro Fevereiro and Ant\u00f3nio Saraiva will carry out a joint transition phase, which is considered important and healthy for the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/easb4aajaue.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Foto_CI_compressed-683x1024.jpg?strip=all\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13748\" style=\"width:616px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ant\u00f3nio Saraiva is the new CEO of InnovPlantProtect<\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>O InnovPlantProtect (InPP) informa que Ant\u00f3nio Saraiva, engenheiro agr\u00f3nomo, de 62 anos, assume hoje, o cargo de diretor executivo do laborat\u00f3rio colaborativo (CoLAB) sediado em Elvas, sucedendo a Pedro Fevereiro, que ocupou o cargo durante cinco anos.
