About Rieks Smook

Experienced and energetic international business developer, project manager, sales manager and builder of relationships. I have a “CAN DO” mentality that is demonstrated by continuous successful project / deal closings and successful business building track records in both Europe and Asia. Having lived in multiple continents, I am cultural aware and able to work with multiple cultures. I am a people’s person, known to build bridges between parties and between people in general. I have substantial management skills having managed people of different nationalities on several locations.After 8 years of Food and Agri education and 20 years financing Food and Agri companies all over the world, I am now using my experience and energy to contribute to the sustainable Food and Agri transition. I am very excited to work for and lead Grassa! | Unlocking the full potential of Grass. Grassa immediately grabbed me as it has a huge potential:1) Grassa unlocks the full potential of grass, and through its process more animals/people can be fed with the same amount of grass. Very much needed to feed 10 bn people in 2050.2) Grassa has the potential to make the dairy and feed sector more efficient and sustainable. Wow... the impact to move a complete sector.3) in order to make the most impact, Grassa will need to form partnerships and alliances. I just love to do that!Looking forward to work with you!

    Chief Executive Officer
    Grassa! | Meer Waarde Uit Groen Aug 2021 - Present
    Venlo, Limburg, Nl
    Grassa Green Refined Solutions has developed technology that unlocks the full potential of grass. Grass is “opened” through a natural process and part of the proteins, sugars and minerals are extracted. The remaining protein, sugar and minerals in the opened grass are made more accessible and digestible. This makes the opened grass suitable, among other things, to be fed up to 60% in the roughage ration of dairy cattle, while retaining the milk volume per hectare. The extracted grass proteins are suitable for feeding monogastric animals such as rabbits, fish, chickens pigs and eventually also humans. Grass protein can in time fully replace imported soy in feed. Application of Grassa BV's products in the feeding schedule of livestock provides, in addition to the sustainability gains from local plant based protein production and soy replacement, also for sustainability gains through reduction of ammonia and phosphate emissions (30% ) and Methane emission (15%).  Triple benefits from the same grass!
