9Throughout the 30 years of Darin Powell’s career, digital transformation and innovation has been a driving force in his work. Acting on this passion, he has conceived of and implemented innovations in every single position he has held in multiple industries.

Creating and promoting innovations can be quite different propositions, from small entrepreneurial engagements to major corporations such as Boeing and Bayer. Transitioning from innovator to innovationist requires understanding, strategy, influence and communication. Darin will share a methodology he uses to generate excitement, gain buy-in and get innovations realized from design to execution.

There has never been a more important time for innovation in agriculture. Our world faces enormous challenges -- from a changing climate, limited natural resources to a growing population. And we believe agriculture is part of the solution. At Bayer, we’re a responsible, global team working to shape agriculture through breakthrough innovation for the benefit of farmers, consumers and our planet.
