Key Qualifications My career as an agronomist took me around the world many times until settling in Ukraine in 2003, where I have established a permanent residence and live with my family. During the course of my career I have worked as:
  • an agribusiness manager (founded "Izhora Agro" near St. Petersburg, Russia);
  • an agribusiness consultant (USA, Netherlands, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Ukraine);
  • a seed specialist (USA, Russia, Netherlands, India, Sri Lanka, Africa (short term assignments in 10 countries);
  • an agri-insurance manager (Ukraine);
  • a rural finance and cooperative development specialist;
  • a consultant/team leader in a number of rural development projects; and.
  • an academic in agricultural sciences (USA; Ukraine).

    • Wide technical experience in agricultural science including: soil mapping, variety testing, seed certification, production planning, seed production and processing, contract grower management, storage of a range of agricultural products under different conditions, rapid rural appraisal, market research and market development. At the same time I have a business orientation, and can combine both technical and business objectives effectively.

    I enjoy team building and the establishment of efficient and cost-effective systems, including those with a high degree of technical sophistication, and a strong service component. I have a strong orientation towards training, both as a lecturer and as a coach. I have received a "Medal of Honour" from the Government of Ukraine for my leadership of a team of local and foreign experts supporting the development of SMEs in rural areas.

    I would like nothing better than to utilize my agricultural and business expertise and work in rural Ukraine.
