Peggy Coffeen Interviews Young Leader Michael Neves

Peggy Cofeen speaks with Young Leader today is Michael Neves. He joins us from California, though he has a network in the dairy community that reaches around the world.

The first few years of Michael’s career included working with startups in technology and animal health, before finding a great fit for his skillset as business development manager for Progressive Dairy Solutions.

Hear about:
– How his entrepreneurial spirit almost led him to owning a McDonald’s franchise at age 19
– His passion for helping dairy farmers get paid for their sustainability practices
– And the skills that he uses to have a seat at tables that are often filled with people twice his age.

Young producers and professionals will relate to the challenges and opportunities Michael sees, and those of us who are more seasoned can also take notes on what an ambitious young dairy leader desires in the workplace.
