As the current President of the American Society for Horticultural Science, Dr. Leskovar shares the remarkable journey that began with his father's work in hop production and led him through prestigious institutions across three continents.The conversation reveals how formative experiences—observing agricultural practices in Patagonia, studying plant cells during recovery from a kidney infection, and adapting to a fruit and vegetable-rich diet—shaped his scientific curiosity. Dr. Leskovar pursued advanced degrees at Wageningen University, UC Davis, and the University of Florida before establishing himself as a respected researcher and center director at Texas A&M University.From his base in the "Winter Garden of Texas," Dr. Leskovar conducts innovative research on artichokes, tomatoes, spinach, and hydroponics.

This podcast is the replay of a webinar Protiviti hosted in January 2025. President Donald Trump took office in January with Republican control of both the Senate and the House and with a conservative-leaning Supreme Court. He has moved quickly to appoint cabinet members, agency heads and others who share his vision for the United States. He has also appointed individuals to advise him and his administration on a range of issues (e.g., energy, border, crypto and AI czars) and created a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to make recommendations to the White House on ways to make government more efficient. Given these developments and what the president has said about his plans, which are the potential industry winners and losers and how might CEOs prepare for the administration based on this evolving information? Discussion topics include:Industries likely to be most impacted favorably and unfavorablyThe potential for increased mergers and acquisition activityThe impact of U.S. policy on non-US domiciled companiesThe outlook for AISpeakers:Carol Beaumier, Senior Managing Director, Global Leader for Thought Leadership, ProtivitiMichael Brauneis, Executive Vice President, Global Industry & Client Programs, Global Financial Services Industry Leader, ProtivitiJonathan Wyatt, Managing Director, Protiviti Europe Regional Market LeaderRob Gould, Managing Director and Global Private Equity and Transaction Services Practice Lead, ProtivitiChristine Livingston, Managing Director – Global AI Leader, Protiviti

KEY BREAKTHROUGHSSince 1944, the fumed silica industry has relied on the same conventional, fossil-fuel-intensive production methods, leading to manufacturing that is toxic, expensive and environmentally unfriendly.HPQ Silicon has reached a significant milestone with its scalable fumed silica reactor pilot plant, a project that could redefine its market position and commercial prospects. By successfully scaling the reactor, the company is poised to deliver high-quality, environmentally friendly fumed silica at a fraction of current industry costs.This milestone follows the successful lab-scale validation that produced commercial-quality fumed silica and subsequently attracted the interest of Evonik, leading to a Letter of Intent in July of 2024.SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SCALED-UP REACTORCEO Bernard Tourillon emphasized that this achievement was a pivotal "go/no-go" moment for the company. "Successfully scaling to 20x the lab setup is a huge step forward. We've proven that our process works and can scale effectively," This breakthrough not only confirms the project's viability but also positions HPQ Silicon as a potential global leader in materials production, with exciting applications on the horizon.KEY PROJECT DEVELOPMENTS Pilot Plant Progress: The pilot plant has successfully produced material during the first batch test, matching the visual characteristics of lab-scale production, confirming the reactor's scaling ability. Strategic Partnerships: Collaborations with industry leaders like Evonik strengthen HPQ Silicon's competitive edge. Market Potential: The company is pursuing new partnerships and exploring market opportunities, with discussions expected to ramp up post-milestone.MATERIAL ADVANCEMENTS AND FUTURE PROSPECTSThe company is preparing to send samples to potential clients under Letters of Intent (LOIs) and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), which should spur commercial discussions. The scalable nature of the process and lower capital costs make HPQ's offering highly attractive in an industry ready for disruption.“Successfully producing material with the same visual characteristics as the lab-scale version in our first batch test is a huge achievement and bodes well for the future.”NEXT STEPSHPQ Silicon plans to conduct additional batch tests to refine product quality and initiate full-scale commercialization discussions. The recent milestone strengthens the company's position in the growing materials market. With key industry partnerships on the horizon, HPQ Silicon is poised to capture a significant share of the fumed silica market, valued at billions. As production scales and commercial agreements formalize, the future looks bright.
