Q1 How would you introduce yourself?
Hola, my name is Nico and I’m the Technical and Market Development Specialist at AlphaBio Control.
I was born and grew up in Cartagena on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, and studied Agri-Food and Biological Systems at the Polytechnic University there. I am currently finishing two Masters degrees in Agronomy, and Plant Health and Production further north at the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
My father is an agronomist for Koppert, and I was interested in engineering and the natural environment, so agriculture was an obvious link. So, in my vacations, I worked with Koppert and Bayer in their field trials teams.
I joined AlphaBio in February 2024.
Q2 What does your role in AlphaBio entail?
As the Technical and Market Development Specialist, I have a variety of roles. Firstly, I help the Market and Technical Development Team providing technical support for field trials of the company’s products and pipeline products and trials analysis.
I also support the Regulatory Team with documentation and information retrieval.
And finally, I am really interested in social media and like to get involved with the AlphaBio platforms on Twitter/X and LinkedIn.
Q3 What do you like about working for AlphaBio?
I really appreciated the flexibility that the company offered me whilst I was finishing my studies; completing my Masters degrees fitted in really well helping with fields trials and learning about the company.
There is a great environment in the company, and all the people in the team are really helpful.
I am learning a LOT about biopesticides and how to use them in conventional agriculture to get the most out of them.
Q4 Finally, what do you like to do outside of work?

I love sport especially football; I am a massive Real Madrid fan you will often find me kicking a ball with my friends. In the Summer I will be at the beach, but I also love spending time with Sasha, my dachshund.
