Kelberman is responsible for overall strategy, including the finance department, financial reporting, analysis, audit, budgeting, and credit and collections.

She has also served as director of finance-Asia, for Fisher Scientific’s Biosciences Division; director of financial planning & analysis for Cytyc Corp.; and controller for financial start ups, emerging markets, for Boston Scientific.

“Both Greg and Chris have an impressive amount of financial and strategic experience, stated Karen S. Bressler, president and ceo of AGAR. “Now more than ever, it is imperative in our industry that we pay close attention to all our efficiencies. If AGAR stays efficient, our customers stay profitable and we always do our part at whatever level in helping our customers stay viable, especially in these uncertain times.”
