CARY, North Carolina (August 31, 2026) – Atticus is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Walmsley as Senior Vice President, Government & Industry Affairs, effective August 31.

In this role, Andrew will lead Atticus’ government and industry affairs strategy, representing the company with policymakers, industry organizations, and other key stakeholders. He will also help advance Project Ascend, Atticus’s focused effort to address policy and industry issues that impact the company’s ability to compete, grow, and create value for its customers.

“Government & Industry Affairs has become an important part of how we position Atticus for continued success,” said Randy Canady, Founder & CEO. “Andrew’s experience across agriculture, government, and the crop protection industry gives us an opportunity to build on the foundation already in place, expand the impact of Project Ascend, and more closely connect these efforts to Atticus’ long-term growth.”

Andrew brings more than 20 years of experience in agricultural policy and government affairs. He joins Atticus from the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology, where he served as Vice President of Government Relations. Andrew previously spent nearly 18 years with the Florida Farm Bureau Federation and the American Farm Bureau Federation.

“Joining Atticus is an exciting opportunity, and Government & Industry Affairs can play an important role in continuing to move the company forward,” said Walmsley. “I look forward to advancing policies and partnerships that strengthen Atticus, create value for our customers, and support a competitive U.S. crop protection industry. That means being engaged early, bringing practical solutions to the table and making sure Atticus is well-positioned on the issues that matter to our business, our customers and American agriculture.”

Andrew will build on the foundation established by Scott Kuschmider, who has led Atticus’ Government & Industry Affairs efforts and helped advance the early work of Project Ascend. Atticus thanks Scott for his leadership and contributions to the company and wishes him continued success.
