NEW Business Development Director
INTRODUCING ALEX TURNEY
The agrig8/Lallemand Animal Nutrition team is proud to announce and welcome Alex Turney to the team as the new Business Development Director, Australia and New Zealand. Alex joined agrig8/Lallemand Animal Nutrition on the 15th of November from his previous position as Business Unit Manager Intensive Livestock for Elanco Animal Health, Australia. Alex is based at agrig8's offices in Maroochydore, Queensland where he has relocated from Sydney with his wife Angela and two young boys, Luca and Taj.
Alex will take on responsibility for the management of our sales and technical support teams and commercial responsibility for the development of LAN product portfolio in both Australia and New Zealand. Alex has a Degree in Applied Science from Massey University in New Zealand as well as a Post Graduate Diploma in Environmental Science from the University of Auckland and has been with Elanco for the past 5 years. Prior to joining Elanco he worked for Adisseo for 7 years managing their vitamin and enzymes portfolio in Australia and New Zealand.
"I am thrilled to be part of the agrig8/Lallemand team. My entire career has been spent in the animal health and nutrition sectors and I look forward to working with such an innovative and progressive company."
Ken Rich, Managing Director says, "We are very excited to welcome Alex to the agrig8/Lallemand family. Not only will he bring a clear understanding of the business to business relationships across the premix, feedmill and end user markets, but will provide strong leadership to the technical sales team.
With more than 12 years experience in animal health and nutrition across beef feedlot, pig, poultry and dairy production systems in Australia and New Zealand, Alex brings with him an extensive knowledge of the legislative and environmental areas as well as strong networks within the extensive livestock industry.
Alex enjoys Adventure Racing, competing in Australia's first non-stop 700km Expedition Race. Wind and water sports are also favorites, so the move to the Sunshine Coast has proved to be doubly advantageous.
