How Lee is building a better working world
"I work with industry leaders to shape their future — which means gaining confidence in their organizations’ aspirations, building clarity in their path forward and understanding the risks and trade-offs involved. Most importantly, I help agricultural leaders deliver on their goals to lead markets and create value. Much of my work involves helping organizations deliver profitable, sustainable growth in a changing global agriculture, food and energy value chain."
