NZITA brings you an exclusive interactive session with:

Anna Campbell, Cofounder Zestt Wellness and Partner at Abacus Bio.

A renowned expert in agribusiness, Anna Campbell has a PhD in plant biotechnology and is unashamedly passionate about the food and Agri-sector, with special interests in genetics, food security and the use of plant bio actives for human health.

 Anna has a science degree in botany and biochemistry from the University of Otago, and a PhD in plant biotechnology from Lincoln University.  She started her career at the

University of Southern Queensland where she discovered DNA markers for wheat quality and disease-resistance traits.

 After returning to New Zealand, in 2001, to work as a scientist at Ag Research Invermay, she moved to Abacus Bio, in 2006, where she rose through the ranks to be the Managing Director in 2015.  Under her watch, the company expanded internationally, establishing a subsidiary in Edinburgh and acquiring a tree breeding company in Rotorua.  Abacus Bio works in over 20 countries, including India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, supporting food security by improving plant and animal genetics.

 Anna stepped down from her role at Abacus Bio in April this year (she still remains as a Partner) to co-found Zestt Wellness, a company that develops scientifically proven, natural health products. Their first product, EXhale®, a lung health formulation, is on the market in New Zealand and Australia and they are speaking with potential partners in the UK, India and Taiwan.

 This is an opportunity for New Zealand business leaders, marketing managers, friends of India, Importers and Exporters, CFO, CEO, CIO, start-ups to hear from a celebrated business leader.

Please register early as seats are limited. This is a tie and dress event.

With compliments from:

Giri Gupta, QSM    Chairman

Surinder Ogra, General Secretary
