I lead Plant & Food Research's International Development Unit (IDU). This Unit was established in 2017 with a current portfolio of horticultural and seafood sector projects in Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Kenya, the Caribbean and the Pacific. Before joining Plant & Food Research, I worked for University of Adelaide (3 years) and NSW Department of Primary Industries (16 years) leading and collaborating on a series of International Development projects in SE Asia and the Pacific. I lived and worked in Hanoi, Vietnam from 2009-2016. I have a PhD in Postharvest Physiology and a BHortSci(Hons) both from Massey University.
