Gearing Up For An Exciting 2023 at FarmWise

Our team is thrilled to welcome a new CEO and prepare for our imminent product launch.

We are delighted to announce today that Tjarko Leifer, a recognized industry leader and former SVP of Strategy at Climate Corporation, is joining our team as our new CEO. Sebastien Boyer, our co-founder and CEO for the past six years, is moving into the role of Chairman of the board.

To our customers, investors, partners and friends, here are a few words from our new CEO, Tjarko Leifer:

“I couldn’t be more excited to join the FarmWise team at this moment in time. FarmWise is the only AgTech company that has demonstrated repeated customer satisfaction over multiple years of commercial automated weeding operations in the field. I am convinced FarmWise is one of the best-positioned companies in the industry to truly change agricultural practices using technology.”

Tjarko is no stranger to us. He has spent the past three years on FarmWise’s board as an independent board member where he progressively emerged as a key strategic leader. In Seb Boyer, our co-founder and now chairman’s words:?

“I can’t think of a better leader than Tjarko to drive FarmWise forward - he has great industry experience and has successfully navigated the start-up journey multiple times. FarmWise is in a strong position today, with unique technologies, a strong brand, a talented team of employees, and strong backing from AgTech, generalist VC and strategic investors that are driving our vision forward. I am really excited about this new phase of the company and personally, I am looking forward to continuing to serve the company by leading the board and promoting our vision with external stakeholders.”?

Tjarko is joining us a few weeks prior to the unveiling of our next-generation weeding machine, Vulcan at the World Ag Expo?. We can’t wait to share with the world this new product and the powerful vision system architecture that powers it. It distills thousands of hours of commercial weeding jobs in the service of leading farming organizations and it encapsulates our vision for the future of farming machines.?

We couldn’t be more excited about this new chapter for the company and our team. We have been hard at work and will be sharing more about Vulcan in the next few weeks! Stay tuned and welcome to the FarmWise family, Tjarko! See you all on February 14th at Tulare’s World Ag Expo?!
