Larry Plotkin’s Summary

I am currently the President of Precison Plant Systems, Inc.(www.PPSI.info) - a start-up company commercializing an OSU technology in the precision agricultural field. Our hand-held instrument instantly determines a leafy plants' nitrogen, chlorophyll and water content enabling growers to proactively manage their crops for optimal quality and yield with the most efficient use of natural and financial resources.

I am also an expert consultant in the areas of industrial inkjet technology and market analysis, corporate innovation strategies and business growth strategies (www.inkjetconsulting.com)

Following my 25 years of service at HP, I accepted the position of Vice President/General Manager of the InkJet Inks Division of ImTech inc. (www.imtech-or.com). At ImTech I was responsible for all aspects of the ink business including R&D, Qualification, Manufacturing, Marketing and Sales. I commercialized ImTech's novel UV-Curable ink for thermal inkjet, and oversaw its patent protection. I was an engaged, "hands on" manager - helping to solve R&D and customer integration issues.

At HP I was primarily involved the design and commercialization of consumer and commercial inkjet products, and the management of corporate innovation and new business development. When I left HP (May, 2005), I was the director of HP's 'internal incubator' - the New Business Creation (NBC) team of HP's Imaging and Printing Group. Under my direction NBC discovered, researched, developed, and launched many new businesses. One of our greatest accomplishments was the establishment of processes, procedures and business controls necessary for a repeatable, credible corporate intrapreneurial incubator system.

I a committed family man, and am actively engaged in local economic development and community service. I live in Corvallis, Oregon.

I have a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley.
