The Context Network, a world leader in agriculture and bioscience management consulting, has named Asha Lundal as a Partner in the firm. Lundal joined Context in 2011 as a Senior Associate. During the past two years, she has applied her extensive portfolio of industry relationships and expertise to consistently deliver strategic successes for her clients.

Context Partner, Mark Holland said, “Asha’s success is driven by the way she interacts with clients and their challenges. She is quick to identify issues, design and organize projects that effectively accomplish goals, and deliver results to her clients. In the current business climate, it is essential to accurately understand cutting-edge science and technology issues, and to execute effective business strategies that bring them to fruition. This is where Asha truly excels. She will no doubt continue to provide her current and future clients with unparalleled results.”

Holland added, “Her rapid rise to the leadership role of Partner comes from her vast hands-on experience and expertise across key functional areas, including finance, strategy, deal negotiation and execution on both research and commercial sides of the business.”

Context’s global network of seasoned executives and domain experts is uniquely positioned to bring custom, full-cycle solutions to our clients. I am excited to be a part of this remarkable team, and I look forward to continuing to expand Context’s capabilities and our ability to help our clients succeed.”
