Ten of our STAMP participants will be participating in the upcoming IFAMA 2024 World Conference agribusiness-specific Global Student Case Competition — the only one of its kind globally — providing students and their universities a world stage to showcase future #primarysector leaders.
This year our participants will be heading off to the beautiful Almería, in Southern Spain, (17-20 June).
As we head towards the event we will be show-casing some of our outstanding STAMP participants.
Introducing Alex Reid (née Tomkins) and her remarkable journey within our cohort.
I’m Alex and am involved in the kiwifruit industry post-harvest sector at Trevelyan’s Pack & Cool Ltd, an avocado and kiwifruit packhouse in Te Puke, Bay of Plenty. My role is Project & Business Improvement Coordinator, I get to work on a range of exciting #projects and the development of continuous improvement practices across all departments in the business.
I’ve been part of STAMP since May 2021, it’s been a unique experience and invaluable career development. Through STAMP I’ve created relationships with passionate #emergingleaders in the #agrifood sector from across #NewZealand.
Evaluating case studies of real-world businesses and their challenges has provided the opportunity to develop my skills in #strategic analysis, #criticalthinking, and #problemsolving. Allowing me to apply a strategic lens to projects in my job and #career.
Through STAMP I was fortunate last year to attend the E Tipu IFAMA 2023 World Conference in Christchurch and compete in the student case competition. Highlights included our team winning the Early Careers Professional Category and networking with agri-food professionals from all around the world.
I’m looking forward to competing in the student case study competition at the IFAMA 2024 World Conference in Almeria, Spain and gaining first-hand insights into Europe’s agri-food sector through the Europe Agri-innovation field trip.
