Manuel E. Gonzalez Guzman
Rabobank
Head of F&A Start-up Innovation
Manuel started working for Rabobank in 1996 in the Mexico Office when he was hired after graduating from MBA School (Georgetown). After working in Project Finance and M&A, Manual became Mexico Head of Risk. Finally, in 2008, he became Mexico Country Head. In 2012 he was asked to become Head of the Western Region for the Corporate Bank and that is when he moved to San Francisco. The exposure to the entreprenurial culture of Silicon Valley and San Francisco, and the dynamic of the F&A Innovation space, led him to create FoodBytes and Terra (the F&A Innovation Platform of Rabobank). In the end, the growth of that platform became the genesis of the new F&A Innovation Team which he lead.
I would like to see how Japan is looking at the future of food and agriculture.
