Brett Wiskar’s grasp of the challenges and opportunities of innovation in and around Agribusiness is only superseded by his ability to eloquently articulate both experiences of innovation and opportunity to be gained from innovation. This clarity of need for innovation is obvious in his overt passionate presentation when speaking about the subject to any audience that will listen. Examples, experience and enthusiasm for all things innovative, make Brett a compelling presenter.
