Vancouver-based agtech company, the Semios Group, announced Sept. 29 that it has appointed Amie Thesingh as CEO. Her grower-first insight, experience with complex operations technology solutions and global leadership make her well-suited to guide Semios into its next phase of growth, the company says.
Thesingh has built her career by taking on first-of-their-kind roles and driving change at scale. At Wilbur-Ellis, she led an ag solutions business, launching farmer-facing digital agronomy tools and a sustainability product line, while advancing a $300 million proprietary crop inputs business. She also served as chief technology officer and led strategy and business development, home to the company’s enterprise transformation team.
At Cargill, Thesingh worked in agriculture on several continents, developing farmer solutions in the U.S., leading grain origination and crop input distribution across seven countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and helping unite four animal protein businesses into one cohesive group.
“I am honored to join the Semios Group at such a pivotal time,” Thesingh says. “Growers continue to face unprecedented challenges, but Semios’ independence from big ag, robust digital platform and global scale put us in a unique position to deliver the solutions they need. My focus will be on driving innovation and expanding the value we bring to growers worldwide.”
Mick Sawka, chairman of the board, adds: “Amie combines global strategy, operational excellence and vision with a proven ability to deliver results. She has transformed businesses at scale, and we are confident she will strengthen Semios’ leadership and advance our position as a leader in digital agriculture.”
