PHOENIX, Feb. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES), a developer of proprietary technologies for managing animal pest populations through fertility control, announced today the appointment of Steve Krause as Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

Most recently, Mr. Krause was Global Business Director at Valent BioSciences where he led their work in commercializing bio-pest solutions for the global market. Steve has a B.S. in Biology, an M.B.A. in Management and a Ph.D. in Entomology, and has experience in both government agencies and the private sector.  

Ken Siegel, SenesTech's CEO, commented, "Steve has a proven track record of success in developing markets, and specifically marketing and selling innovative, biorational product solutions into the pest control industry, and is eager to bring his experiences to SenesTech as we aggressively expand our sales and marketing efforts."

Steve Krause continued, "I am very excited to be joining SenesTech at this time. ContraPest® offers a new paradigm in pest control, which is not an industry that easily embraces innovation or change without good reason. By focusing on customer-centric, I am confident that the SenesTech team can provide that reason and successfully advance ContraPest."

About SenesTech 

SenesTech is changing the paradigm of pest management by targeting one of the root causes of the problem: reproduction.

ContraPest^® is an innovative technology with an approach that targets the reproductive capabilities of both sexes in rat populations, inducing egg loss in female rats and impairing sperm development in males. Using a proprietary bait delivery method, ContraPest^® is dispensed in a highly palatable liquid formulation that promotes sustained consumption by rat communities. ContraPest^® is designed, formulated and dispensed to be low hazard for handlers and non-target species such as wildlife, livestock and pets, where the active ingredients break down rapidly.

We believe ContraPest^® will establish a new paradigm in rodent control, resulting in a decreased reliance on lethal options. For more information visit the SenesTech website at www.senestech.com.
