Executive Chair
Ross James bridges the worlds of technology innovation and agricultural transformation, bringing three decades of pioneering leadership in global technology markets to address one of humanity’s most pressing challenges: sustainable food security. His journey spans from establishing one of Taiwan’s earliest computer manufacturers to architecting revolutionary cloud computing solutions that transcended geographical and technological boundaries.
As a visionary entrepreneur with deep roots in both farming and technology, Ross has consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to identify emerging opportunities and create innovative solutions that challenge conventional thinking. His experience in developing markets across the USA, Southeast Asia, and Europe has shaped his understanding of how technology can democratise opportunity and drive transformational change.
During the 1990s, Ross played a pivotal role in the evolution of cloud computing, developing distributed technologies that brought sophisticated solutions to areas with limited infrastructure. This experience laid the foundation for his current mission: leveraging technology to unlock unprecedented opportunities for agricultural communities worldwide.
Ross’s unique combination of agricultural insight and technological expertise drives his passion for creating systemic change. His approach to innovation is shaped by a fundamental belief: that with the right tools and opportunities, small-scale agricultural enterprises can become powerful engines of global food security and economic prosperity.
Throughout his career, Ross has demonstrated that transformative change happens when visionary leadership meets practical innovation.
