Anders Olson

Spending much of my childhood with my parents Dr. Merle and Dr. Barbara Olson, learning about science and animal health care was an everyday thing. My love for both animals and people who work in the agriculture industry had the flame in my heart stocked into a blaze.
After graduating with my degree in Finance in 2013, many people would have gone into insurance, banking, or a corporate ladder position. I decided to work with AVL/Solvet as a starting Production Assistant. I knew in my heart from day 1 that Merle’s and Barb’s vision for the future of AVL/Solvet was something to fight for. Starting from the ground up learning all aspects of our production, I rose through the ranks to Production Manager in 2018, where I was responsible for overseeing all aspects of pharmaceutical production including manufacturing under GMP and compounding. Late in 2021, I joined our marketing team to help develop our marketing department with both my finance and production experience. In 2024, I joined the Sales team as the first Territory Manager of the companion animal division for Alberta. Now looking to the bright future that is our wonderful company filled with a family of people who truly care about all aspects of our industry gives me as much warmth as the day my father introduced me to my first cow that started that flame to begin with.
