Joe understood that the AG industry needed more than just products. He led the Big / Data Analytics Encirca Offerings Development and Discovery team with responsibility for developing and delivering innovative new solutions for AG industry farmers, retailers, distributors, and processors. Pioneer’s Encirca offerings were identified as a leading-edge implementation of Cloud based Big Data Analytics offerings by Arizona State University’s Center for Services Leadership (ASU/CSL). Pioneer is one of the few firms that has deployed fully monetized scalable BD/A’s subscription based offerings to date.

Other notable achievements were launching Accent® herbicide, launching TruChoice™ financing program.

At INSIGHT, Joe will be responsible for business development focused on helping AG industry clients implement innovative services offerings with a focus on monetizing BD/A cloud based solutions.
