Throughout her career, she has demonstrated a strong record of successes and has earned 12 peer-nominated leadership awards.
“Cheryl brings a wealth of experience to our business, and we are very excited to have her on the team,” said Mike Layfield, director of U.S. dairy marketing at Zoetis. “Her previous experience in bovine reproduction, marketing and genetics, along with her extensive dairy industry involvement, make her a valuable addition to the marketing team, and ultimately to our customers.”

She earned a bachelor’s degree in animal science from the University of Minnesota, a master’s degree in dairy science with a genetics emphasis from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an MBA with a management and marketing emphasis from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
