Working at MGK allows Garrett Potvin to combine his passion for protecting people from pests with the highly collaborative environment that he finds motivating. “There’s an energy at MGK around better serving customers and a dedication to producing the most responsible products,” he said.
While mosquito service calls are often a nuisance service, Potvin and MGK recognize that PMPs treating these accounts are also protecting public health. With an increase in mosquito-borne illnesses in the U.S., like West Nile Virus, controlling mosquitoes that carry disease is essential to the health of our communities.
Potvin is dedicated to working with PMPs to identify gaps and work with them to find new ways to control mosquitoes and create innovative products. One of those products is Sumilarv®, a long-lasting granular larvicide designed to be used in standing water.
Potvin has an MBA and has held various product marketing management roles throughout his career.
