About me

A dynamic and versatile professional interested in the systems behind food production and consumption, with experience across agriculture, B2B and FMCG sectors. As a Partner in my family's farming enterprises and a team member at SAOS - a co-operative owned by 64 Scottish co-ops, collectively representing 25,000 memberships and £1.5bn in turnover - I specialise in supply chain strategy, project management and agri-innovation. I collaborate with SAOS subsidiaries, co-op members and industry partners locally and internationally, to tackle challenges in technology, data, sustainability and trade, driving growth back to farmer members and across Scotland's agricultural and food sectors.
