About
With a strong technical background in ruminant nutrition, I bring hands-on expertise across R&D, product development and operations. My passion lies in driving innovation and continuously seeking smarter, more effective nutritional solutions for beef and dairy cattle, as well as youngstock. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the nutritional requirements of ruminants, focussing both on energy and protein balancing as well as mineral and micronutrient requirements. I enjoy working on forward-thinking projects that challenge the status quo and lead to real improvements—whether in animal performance, product design, or farm-level outcomes. I thrive at the intersection of science and practical application, and I’m always excited about meaningful collaborations that push the boundaries of what’s possible in animal nutrition.
