Credit Approvals Manager
What is your role here at Rabobank?
I am a mentor, coach, advisor and challenger to our rural managers who are out there looking after our clients.
I have been with Rabobank for 22 years. I joined Rabobank Townsville in 1995 as a rural manager looking after the wet tropics from Ingham, up to Cairns and across to the Atherton Tablelands. It was an exciting time, the business was growing and I was on the road at least a couple of days a week. I covered a mix of commodities from cane, horticulture and dairy. These were some of Australia's biggest fruit growers and is home to 85% of Australian banana production.
How do you help our clients?
Because I came from grass roots of working with clients on a daily basis, I understand their business, I understand farming in the wet and dry tropics and I understand about the challenges of floods and cyclones. It helps me do a better job for my clients.What makes Rabobank different for you?
I would not work anywhere else, Rabobank is different to other banks. We have our niche focus on agriculture, and that is our focus; not just here, but globally. You know you might deal with a solicitor, accountant or doctor once a year, but as they say you need a farmer three times a day. I love the fact that in a small way, we are helping our customers feed the world.
