This breadth of knowledge makes him an insightful and pragmatic professional who will create value for a business and their customers.

A naturally broad-minded, big-picture thinker, who enjoys the critical thought required to define a strategy, and to steer a business to suit the market and environment in which it operates.
A charismatic and naturally affable character who believes that business success comes from high-quality leadership of capable, well-motivated, people, with clear direction. Derives a great deal of satisfaction from the collective success of the team.
Adept at managing multiple stakeholders in what can be a dynamic and challenging industry; across complex global supply chains, across multiple production facilities, between multiple customers, or cross-functionally within a business.
A very strong proponent of sustainability in food and farming, as ever more critical to the ongoing success of businesses, our food system, and our planet. Central to several previous roles, but none more so than working at the cutting-edge of AgTech in a B-Corp certified indoor farm.
