With nearly four decades of experience across the agricultural, horticultural, and floriculture sectors in Africa, this candidate is a confident and focused leader known for delivering results in diverse and often challenging environments. From agronomy to Managing Director roles, he combines deep field experience with strategic vision, making him exceptionally well-equipped to drive business growth and operational excellence.

He has successfully led both start-ups and mature enterprises—from smallholder initiatives to multinational agribusinesses generating over €30 million in revenue. His expertise spans fresh produce, floriculture, food processing, and regenerative farming, underpinned by a deep understanding of production systems, compliance, and supply chain optimisation. Having worked closely with growers and customers worldwide, he brings a global perspective to local challenges.

With a strong track record in P&L management, business turnarounds, and greenfield site development, he has consistently transformed underperforming operations into profitable ventures. His supply chain expertise connects African producers to global markets—including the EU, Middle East, and Russia—while ensuring full compliance and maintaining competitive advantage.

What sets him apart is his detailed grasp of both the technical and commercial sides of agribusiness—from greenhouse infrastructure and irrigation systems to logistics, export procedures, and financial planning. Born and raised in Africa, and having spent the majority of his career in East Africa, he offers a rare blend of local insight and global business sensibility.

He is recognised for building empowered, inclusive teams and creating environments where fear is replaced by confidence and accountability. Having led cross-cultural workforces of more than 4,500 employees, he is known for a calm yet determined leadership style that inspires trust and delivers results. A strong communicator and mentor, he finds equal reward in developing emerging talent and shaping board-level strategy.

While his core expertise lies in African agribusiness, his leadership strength, commercial acumen, and operational adaptability are highly transferable. He is open to senior roles across East Africa—or further afield—and across sectors, where he can continue creating lasting value for businesses and the communities they serve.
