General Session #3: Pardon the Economics
#1B- SALES STRATEGY & ENABLEMENT: Micro-Economics - A Closer Look at the Ag Economy
At the forefront of marrying agriculture and infrastructure with financial technology, my role as Chief Economist at Farmer Mac is underpinned by strategic prowess and analytical acumen. With a tenure of nearly two decades, I've spearheaded initiatives that align corporate strategy with actionable insights, elevating our annual strategic planning and its dissemination. Combined with my role in strategy, I help large, complex financial institutions find a foothold in financing farmland at scale using Farmer Mac's amazing tools.
Whether I'm presenting to industry leaders, executives, farmers, or fellow Board members, my future-forward thinking and product strategy has been pivotal to understanding and encoding an increasingly complex market. My analytical skills, honed through a CFA certification and three advanced degrees with top universities, enable me to contribute to predictive analytics advancements and thought leadership that shapes the agricultural and rural economy.
