Our Purpose
Founders' Story
Having all worked together at Australian grain broking and marketing pioneer Agfarm,
Emma Weston, Ben Reid and Bob McKay were looking to solve a bigger problem.
Experiencing first hand the inefficiencies in the agricultural supply chain, they set out to build a better way; powered by technology. With around 80% of the global grain trade controlled by four companies, they knew the problem they were solving was going to require unwavering conviction from a dedicated team who were committed to leveling the field.
A decade later, AgriDigital is a remote-first organization, working across grain and fertilizer supply chains, with a diverse team of farmers, engineers, customer success, product and data specialists, and creatives. Emma, Ben and Bob and the team at AgriDigital are building the digital and capital infrastructure agribusinesses depend on.
Emma’s career as a lawyer and agribusiness executive plus her prior founder experience enables her leadership of company strategy, investor relations and stakeholder engagement. Emma believes that a talented team drawing on diverse backgrounds but united by a passion for the problem, and a genuine admiration for our customers is at the core of building great products and enduring value.
Bob McKay is a well-known Australian grains industry innovator. He has designed and developed multiple commodity contracting and management systems and is inspired by how technology creates equitable access and opportunities for all participants. He has a passion for supply chain funding solutions and data-driven analytics.
Ben is a sixth generation farmer whose family’s mixed farming property uses regenerative agricultural principles to create a more profitable and carbon-friendly operation. A global grains industry expert with over 20 years of grain broking, logistics, storage and trading experience, Ben’s strong industry networks support company growth strategy.
