Nano-Yield Appoints Ethan Morton as Vice President of Business Development

Veteran agricultural commercial leader to accelerate manufacturer partnerships and scalable integration of Nano-Yield’s NLT platform


SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Nano-Yield, a leading agricultural technology company advancing nanoliquid delivery systems for crop inputs, today announced the appointment of Ethan Morton as Vice President of Business Development. In this role, Morton will lead U.S. manufacturer partnerships and drive structured commercialization of Nano-Yield’s NLT (Nano Liquid Technology) platform across formulation portfolios.

Morton brings extensive experience in the agricultural inputs industry, with a background spanning crop protection, specialty markets, and multi-channel distribution. Throughout his career, he has focused on building scalable growth strategies, developing strategic partnerships, and translating technical innovation into commercially viable market opportunities.


At Nano-Yield, Morton will focus on integrating the NLT platform into existing manufacturer portfolios rather than positioning it as a standalone product offering. His mandate includes leading U.S. manufacturer partnerships, aligning technical validation with structured portfolio adoption, and developing scalable commercialization strategies for formulation-level delivery enhancement.


“Manufacturers today are looking for technologies that enhance performance without disrupting existing product strategies,” said Clark Bell, CEO of Nano-Yield. “Ethan understands how to bridge technical capability with disciplined commercial execution. His experience working alongside product and R&D teams makes him uniquely suited to accelerate adoption of the NLT platform at scale.”


Morton has led regional and national commercial initiatives across crop protection and specialty agriculture, holding leadership roles at Kwizda Agro, Miller Chemical & Fertilizer, and Compass Minerals. He has worked closely with manufacturers and R&D teams to align technical innovation with disciplined go-to-market execution. His expertise in portfolio development, multi-channel distribution, and manufacturer collaboration supports scalable growth and measurable value creation across the agricultural value chain.


“I’m excited to join Nano-Yield at a time when manufacturers are increasingly looking for performance-enhancing technologies that integrate seamlessly into their existing portfolios,” said Morton. “Nano-Yield’s NLT platform represents a meaningful opportunity to elevate formulation efficiency and product differentiation at scale. My focus will be building strategic manufacturer partnerships that accelerate adoption and deliver measurable value across multiple crop and product categories.”


Nano-Yield’s proprietary nanoliquid technology enhances nutrient and crop input absorption at the molecular level, improving efficiency while supporting soil sustainability and reducing excess runoff. By focusing on integration within existing portfolios, the company continues to position its platform as a scalable solution for manufacturers seeking innovation without operational disruption.


“With Ethan’s appointment, we are reinforcing our commitment to disciplined execution, collaborative partnership models, and long-term commercial scalability as we expand our manufacturer network across the United States,” added Clark.
