What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build go-to-market strategy, B2B pipelines, and growth for early-stage ventures, especially where agriculture, agri-food, carbon markets, or technology create clear value for customers.

I've co-founded ventures at the intersection of agriculture, technology, and commercial growth. At Tawa Guard, I define go-to-market, sales, and growth strategy for an early-stage AI security startup.

At DeCarbon8+, I built a B2B voluntary carbon-credit market for farmers and forestry producers, led strategy and investor relations, and directed R&D for carbon-sequestration sensor technology. I also built and managed a cross-functional team of seven.

Through Agroportal, I oversee agricultural news content, social media strategy, partnerships, and institutional communications for more than 1.4 million annual users. I use audience analytics to adapt content and communicate complex innovation clearly to non-technical audiences.

I also manage livestock, olive cultivation, and sustainable pasture operations on a family farm. My Animal Sciences background includes computer-vision research for estimating dairy sheep body condition and live weight.
