I specialize in recruiting senior leadership for the agriculture and food processing industries. How? I identify executives who not only bring the right experience, but also align with the culture, values, and long‑term goals of the organizations they lead.

MY APPROACH

Deep-Dive Discovery

Every search begins with a comprehensive understanding of the organization. I invest the time to learn what makes each entity unique — its products, its people, its culture, and its vision for the future. This often includes:

• Meeting with board members and owners in their homes for authentic “kitchen table” conversations about their businesses

• Touring farms and processing facilities to understand operations firsthand

• Listening deeply to the organization’s history, challenges, and aspirations

• My immersive approach ensures that I represent your business accurately and attract leaders who will thrive in your environment.

Targeted Executive Sourcing

With a clear understanding of your organization, I identify and engage executives who match your strategic needs and cultural expectations. My network spans the dairy sector, food and beverage processing, agribusiness, and related industries — giving you access to leaders who understand the complexities of agriculture and the demands of modern food production and marketing.

I add the most value to organizations in the following:

• CEO recruitment

• CFO recruitment

• General Manager and senior leadership roles

I help you evaluate each candidate not only for their experience, but for their alignment with your mission, values, and long-term goals.

Culture-First Candidate Evaluation

In agriculture and food processing, leadership is personal. It’s about trust, relationships, and shared purpose. I prioritize cultural fit as highly as technical expertise, ensuring that the executives you hire will lead with integrity, humility, and a deep respect for the people and communities you serve.

My goal is always the same — I want to produce such a strong candidate pool that you have a tough choice to make between multiple exceptional people to lead your organization.

Board & Stakeholder Alignment

Executive transition is a pivotal moment for any organization. I work closely with boards, ownership groups, and senior teams to ensure alignment throughout the search process. My role is to guide stakeholders toward clarity, consensus, and confidence in the final decision.

Long-Term Partnership

My goal is not simply to fill a role — it’s to strengthen your organization for the long term. I stay engaged throughout onboarding and beyond, supporting both the executive and the organization to ensure a successful transition.
