This is an exciting time to join Kynetec. The future of agriculture is increasingly being shaped by sophisticated inputs, soil and animal health practices, and sustainability considerations. Data about on-the-ground adoption are crucial for strategic and product development decisions. Kynetec’s unique global data and insights offer a critical lever for companies throughout the value chain to find new profit centers and long-term strategic advantage, all while improving their climate and land use footprints. I’m thrilled to be part of a company that recognizes the urgency of environmental action and is committed to enabling clients to navigate this critical transition. Together, we will identify innovative solutions that drive meaningful impact.

Rob’s impressive credentials include a PhD in Environmental Economics and Policy from Duke University, North Carolina, along with degrees from Yale University and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Prior to joining Kynetec, he served as a Principal Consultant at Environmental Resources Management (ERM), the world’s largest pure-play sustainability firm, where he led climate and sustainability advisory services for the agriculture sector globally.

Operating from his home office in Durham, North Carolina, Rob will report to Kynetec’s Chief Operating Officer for Agriculture. His leadership will play a key role in shaping Kynetec’s sustainability agenda and ensuring the company continues to meet and exceed market demands.
