An accomplished executive with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, I've demonstrated success in horticulture, plant tissue culture, plant breeding, hydroponics, medicinal cannabis, and bioenergy sectors. My areas of expertise include managing large-scale operations, overseeing highly automated greenhouse production facilities, and state-of-the-art plant tissue culture labs, and directing expansive global supply chains. I'm known for my ability to start businesses from the ground up, develop high-performing teams, and achieve sustainable growth.My extensive travels to the leading greenhouse, tissue culture, medicinal cannabis and plant breeding facilities around the world have kept me at the forefront of the latest growing techniques, technologies, and automation systems.Currently, as CEO of NXT Bioscience, I'm leading the charge to disrupt global propagation supply chains by automating the plant tissue culture process. Our ground-breaking TC+ and AX technology platform dramatically reduces labour, and enables the distribution of high-health, virus-free plant genetics for the global agricultural, horticultural, and bio-industrial sectors.We are also applying this technology in the emerging bioeconomy and using it to produce renewable biomass as a feedstock to produce bioenergy, biochemicals, and bio-based materials. Our forward-thinking strategy aims to establish renewable biomass supply chains by cultivating genetically optimized crops, suited to grow on marginal, degraded, and contaminated lands, such as disused mine sites, thereby circumventing competition with food production and avoiding further deforestation. Our bioenergy plantations further contribute to soil restoration and serve as effective carbon sinks, converting solar energy into valuable biomass.I am excited to lead NXT Bioscience into a new era, driving significant advancements in the plant tissue culture industry and contributing to the evolution of plant propagation and bioenergy sectors.
