One of fewer than 1200 people in the world to earn the Accredited Business Communicator (ABC) credential from the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC), I am a strategic communicator and professional affairs specialist with extensive experience working on food and agriculture issues. Since 2008 I have been a Consulting Partner at Prospero & Partners, an independent consultancy helping food and agriculture organizations to create value sustainably. Prior to that, I spent eight years at the International Fertilizer Industry Association (IFA) and two years at what is now called CropLife International.
