Bridie Ohlsson co-founder of Geora joins Dexter Cousins on the Fintech Chatter Podcast

Since 2016, Geora has been the global leader at the junction of blockchain and agriculture. They have worked with customers like CBH Group and Rabobank to deliver global firsts using blockchain technology.

Borne out of the blockchain pilot workstream within Australian agtech leader AgriDigital, Geora helps farmers, agribusinesses and financiers, build technology to increase liquidity and drive sustainable practices along supply chains.

About Bridie.

Fresh out of law school, Bridie landed at the junction of agriculture and blockchain; old versus new. Bridie is fascinated by technology, policy, and human behaviour, and since 2015 she's been applying these passions to build products for our most fundamental global industry, agriculture.

An active member of the Australian National Blockchain Roadmap, Supply Chain working group and Standards Australia Blockchain Technical Committee - Smart Contracts Working Group (IT-041), Bridie regularly speaks on blockchain and agriculture and has lent her expertise to a number of publications. 

She holds a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Sydney and a Bachelor of Arts (French and Politics) studying at both the University of Sydney and Sciences Po, Paris.
