Today, Mars Petcare [https://www.mars.com/made-by-mars/petcare], the leading

For more than 50 years, Mars Petcare has been advancing science to better 
understand pets' needs and overall wellbeing.  Our research teams work across 
multiple disciplines such as optimal nutrition for pets, data science, dog and 
cat microbiome, and biomarkers of health and disease.  This year Mars Petcare

heritage in science and leadership in predictive diagnostics.

Loic Moutault, Mars Petcare Global President said: "Nefertiti will play an 
integral role in the continued growth of our diagnostics business and 
accelerate the impact of our science. We're very proud of our diagnostics 
business, which has a central role in the broader Mars Petcare ecosystem as an 
important way we deliver on our Purpose.  And we recognize that shifting from 
curative to preventative veterinary care depends on being able to accurately 
predict and diagnose disease in pets."

Greene joins Mars Petcare from Johnson & Johnson (J&J) where she served as Head 
of Enterprise Strategy and Chief of Staff to the CEO. She brings almost 30 
years of industry experience spanning general management, commercial 
operations, pre-clinical and clinical research across both the pharmaceutical

pharmaceutical business. She began her career in scientific research with 
Regeneron and went on to work in clinical research, marketing, and commercial 
operations with various pharmaceutical companies, including four years as the 
U.S. division head for diabetes with Bayer before joining J&J.

Greene said: "I am excited to join the Mars Petcare leadership team and look 
forward to using my experience in the healthcare industry to help build on the 
successes in diagnostics and science at Mars Petcare. As a pet owner I'm 
looking forward to helping further the reach and impact of diagnostics and 
science for pets around the world."
