Neogen Corporation announced that effective August 17, 2020, Terri Morrical, Vice President of Animal Safety, has transitioned to a new role at the company working directly on key strategic initiatives. In this role, she will have the additional time she had requested to spend with her family. Ms. Morrical joined Neogen in 1992 as Vice President of Animal Safety, and throughout her career she has successfully run and managed that side of the business. During her tenure, she also successfully integrated several businesses that have facilitated Neogen’s overall growth. In Ms. Morrical’s new role, she will no longer be an executive officer of Neogen. Her responsibilities for revenue generation within the Animal Safety business have been absorbed by Doug Jones, who joined the Company on August 17, 2020 as Chief Commercial Officer. Mr. Jones joined Neogen after nearly five years as president of Patterson Veterinary Supply’s Companion Animal Group, a leading, full-line distributor in North America and the U.K. of animal health products, services and technologies to both the production animal and companion animal markets. Prior to his experience at Patterson, Mr. Jones spent six years with Merial North America, where he served as head of Merial’s U.S. Pets Sales and National Accounts teams, and as president of Merial North America. Mr. Jones was also a key member of the company’s Regional Strategic Management Committee. Earlier in his career, Jones was a business consultant for PricewaterhouseCoopers and The North Highland Company. He holds an undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University and an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin.
