Episode 4 - Sarah Sivyer, 2018 Scholar

Sarah Sivyer, 2018 Scholar, is the guest of our fourth episode, hosted by Humans Of Agriculture founder, Oli Le Lievre.

To describe Sarah Sivyer as worldly and business savvy would be absolutely under-selling her. Sarah describes herself as a ‘serious data nerd’ and a ‘serious business model nerd’. Sarah has some incredible experiences and habits that have led to this appetite for continual growth and data-driven success. 

After completing her MBA at Oxford University in London, Sarah was looking to return to her roots in agriculture. She grew up with parents she says were pretty progressive in the farming world for their time. Sarah wanted to be part of a business that she could influence, and she could see the opportunity. 

Sarah’s Nuffield scholarship has had a huge influence on her last five years. She was actually reading a book about companies that choose to be ‘great instead of big’ which kick-started her research around the globe with Nuffield Australia.
