Kris Prentice brings more than 20 years of sales and marketing leadership experience in the pest control and chemical industries to MGK, where she now serves as Vice President of Sales and Marketing. She plays a key part in guiding MGK’s strategic growth while ensuring the company remains closely aligned with evolving customer needs.
Prentice sees botanicals as an increasingly important segment of the pest control industry, particularly as demand continues to grow for sustainable and environmentally responsible solutions. While botanicals are not new to MGK — with a long-standing legacy in pyrethrum-based products — she views the category as a critical driver of future innovation.
As sustainability becomes a greater focus across the industry, Prentice believes botanical solutions will continue to expand in both relevance and application. Under her leadership, MGK is building on its established expertise while investing in new botanical innovations designed to support pest management professionals with effective, forward-looking control options.
