Think bigger, sooner with Dr Kerstin Petroll and Sam Sneddon

AgriFutures Australia Season 6 Episode 2

There’s no argument that women are putting forward ideas and research that offer scalable solutions, but why are some of these cutting-edge ideas being overlooked?

Is it a gender issue, a communication problem or a matter of self-selecting out of bigger plays?

In this episode we’re delving into the concept of ‘think bigger, sooner’, with a particular focus on women working in the agrifood and technology sectors.

To mull over the issue our contributor Jayne Cuddihy is joined by Dr Kerstin Petroll, the chief technology officer from Hydgene Renewables, and Sam Sneddon, CEO of WollemAI.

Kerstin and Sam are finalists in the AgriFutures Australia and AgriFutures growAG. Catalyst program. It’s designed to empower female leaders in the agriculture and technology sectors, bolstering not only their networks and capabilities but provides a vital platform for advancing their research or technological innovations to the next phase of development.
