Agribusiness rarely happens in boardrooms alone. It happens in the field, on the farm, across supply chains, and through relationships built over decades. That is where I have spent my career, and it is where I have learned most of what I know.

For more than thirty years I have worked across the agricultural value chain, from primary production and processing to international trade and commercial leadership in food and agribusiness. I have built sales teams, opened new markets, sat with farmers, and negotiated with chief executives, often within the same week.

My grounding in the subject began with international agribusiness at the Technical University of Berlin, followed by agricultural sciences at the University of Kiel, and brewing and distilling at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. This combination from practical farming and ag-tech to processing and consumer markets shapes my holistic view at a market today.

What I offer now is not a service or a project. It is a conversation. I speak privately with entrepreneurs, owners, and senior boards in food and agribusiness around the world, people who are thinking something through carefully and would value doing so with someone who understands the industry from the inside, and who has no stake in the outcome beyond an honest exchange.

These conversations are confidential. Some last an afternoon. Some continue for years. I bring thirty years of experience, a wide network across farming, food, and agribusiness communities, and a genuine interest in your market, you people and your thinking.
