Ioana Stroe’s career started with a Bachelor of Education and a few years as a teacher for elementary and secondary school in Brasov, Romania. In 2006 she was introduced to the seed testing world at the N.A.K. (Nederlandse Algemene Keuringsdienst voor zaaizaad en pootgoed van landbouwgewassen – Dutch General Inspection Service for seeds of agricultural crops and seed potatoes) in Emmeloord, The Netherlands, where she specialized in testing seed purity.
With 9 years of experience, Ioana joined our Winnipeg branch in 2015. She became a Licensed Seed Crop Inspector and Senior Seed Analyst two years later. Between 2021 – 2024 Ioana has managed the Chile contra-season program overseeing operations related to sampling, processing, testing and documentation for hybrid canola seed production.
September 2024 brought new responsibilities as Ioana took on the manager role in the Winnipeg laboratory.
Ioana`s motto: “Dacă vrei, poţi!” (If you want it, you can do it)!
