Rolf Schrauwen is an independent consultant in agriculture and the food chain, in developing and emerging countries, with a long track record in senior management roles in strategic marketing, business development and M&A’s. His 30 years of work have brought him to over 40 countries across the world.
“I love bringing projects to fruition and scaling them up in a practical way in countries that are more difficult to access, building business cases and creating local networks, and finding ways how to do it rather than accepting it cannot be done. I strongly believe in the inventiveness of people to make things happen and I see the value of bringing together different backgrounds and skills.“
