My passion is for driving business growth. I believe my success stems from my ability to build and lead great teams and from my strategic approach which has been honed at business school courses in Italy, the USA, and Ireland. Living in multiple cultures has given me strong interpersonal skills and I guess my determination and grit have been born of years of competing in amateur sport! Since graduating from university with an agricultural degree in 1994, I have steadily built an international career in agribusiness that spans 3 continents. I have moved with opportunity: from South Africa to Ireland, the UK, Italy, and the USA. From these locations, I have opened markets and driven business development across Europe, North America, South Africa, and the Middle EastSpeaking Engagements: I am very comfortable and experienced at public speaking and regularly address audiences in formal presentations, discussion forums, and fireside chats.
