"I am thrilled to step into the role of SAPPO CEO and join this incredible organisation at such an important time for the sector. With global food systems under pressure and the agricultural sector facing increased challenges and new opportunities, I believe there is a unique opportunity to lead with purpose. I am particularly energised by the work being done on ESG and sustainability, where the adoption of innovative solutions that drive productivity and resilience presents inherent value to multiple stakeholders throughout the value chain. This value can be unlocked through industry alignment and the implementation of the right systems, and I believe producer organisations have a key role to play in this. I look forward to working alongside a deeply committed team and industry stakeholders to grow SAPPO's impact and shape a thriving future for the pork industry."
