“There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to serving the needs of a region as varied as the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. I’m focused on making connections that serve the specific requirements of partners in this region, leveraging GAR’s scale and expertise to make a positive impact. Whether sharing agribusiness best practices to accelerate efficiency and innovation or helping to advance food safety and security for partners, I believe GAR has a valuable role in the region while harnessing growth opportunities.”
