With a love of agriculture, I grew up on a family-owned property in South America and I am passionate about using new technologies to improve farming management. I moved to Australia in 2013 to research agriculture, land types, rules, regulations, traceability, cattle farming practices, and weather patterns while identifying best practice locations (way to market) and investment opportunities for large scale cattle operations. I now lead new business development for mOOvement in Australia and South America, a company focused on empowering beef producers with actionable insights and innovative products. We currently market ground-breaking products like GPS ear tags, water monitoring sensors, rain gauges, a cattle/farm management technology platform, and a bull performance monitoring solution. We are live across five continents, in 16 countries, and with thousands of head of cattle using our GPS ear tags.I understand the business of agriculture, having managed all areas of company operations. This includes budgeting/financial and profit management, strategy, risk, human resources, day to day operations, and major change management. As a recognised transformation specialist, I can recommend areas for improvement, deliver organisational capability that achieves lasting impact, and foster organisational change. I am a confident and articulate communicator, relationship builder and people leader with excellent stakeholder engagement skills and experience collaborating and engaging in high-level interactions with government and industry stakeholders.Areas of Expertise Include:♦ Expert knowledge and experience across all areas of agribusiness, food, and cattle operations – ANZ and global markets♦ Understanding of innovative new products to support 21st-century farming and agriculture management ♦ Identification of viable partners, distributors and suppliers to support customer needs – including research, due diligence and contract negotiations♦ Networks and relationships with government agencies (Federal and State), commercial real estate agents/firms, and local farmers♦ Technology-based livestock management♦ Knowledge of IOT technologies as a basis to drive efficiencies I am always on the lookout for new and innovative products in agriculture and advanced farming management – please get in touch if you are seeking or can offer something unique.
