Dairy farm instrumentation has always interested Rod Claycomb, who is now CEO of Sensortec. As part of this work, Rod travels around the world to see how dairying is done in different countries.

Rod Claycomb (Sensortec)

What I love about my job is working with people. You get to interact with people from different countries, different cultures. You get to see dairy industries from all different perspectives, from New Zealand to the Northernmost stretches of Europe. And it’s just fantastic to work with those different universities and research organisations. And really, what I really love is using innovation and technology to actually help the dairy farmer farm better in the future.
