TREVOR PIZZEY BIO

Trevor was raised on a pedigreed seed farm in western Manitoba where the family business included the operation of a special crops processing facility and a retail chemical/fertilizer outlet in addition to seed production. There's really no substitute for growing up in an industry, and his early education in agribusiness operations, customer service and strategy has shaped his professional career.

After 25 years in the grain foods processing industry, including leadership of Viterra's $1B North American food ingredients manufacturing portfolio, he returned to his roots and is again focused on the type of business he grew up in – Western Canadian small and medium sized grain processing operations. Beyond the primary focus, Trevor is also able to support clients in related industries (such as wood working combustible dust) and extended geographies.Today, he draws on broad experience, including on-going farm ownership, to help agribusiness companies achieve their potential through strategic growth and operational excellence. He loves taking what he's learned in some great organizations, and applying it to help you meet your challenges.

Trevor has extensive experience not only in engineering design and consultancy, but also in hands-on operational roles. Hisdesign and consulting support isn't just theoretical; he understands the day-to-day challenges and decisions involved in running grain processing facilities, and his project support reflects that deep understanding.
