Rabobank Australia

Dee Commins is starting the year strong, recently joining Rabobank’s Major Agricultural Clients (MAC) team to help support some of Australia’s largest-scale farmers. Remaining involved in her family’s Angus beef cattle operation, based between Omeo and Swifts Creek, Dee enjoys first-hand appreciation of agriculture. “In a bank focussed solely on farmers, in a high-performing team dedicated to supporting high-value transactions, there is nothing more exciting than helping a client achieve their goals, and our team environment is dynamic and challenging, which I love.” “High-value transactions are complex with a lot of extra, and very specific requirements.” “The beauty of Rabobank’s Major Agricultural Clients division is that we know exactly what needs to be in place when a client wants to scale and expand – we know the information that needs collecting for the in-depth paperwork required, we’re used to having the conversations with credit during the approval process, and we understand the legal structure post-settlement on large transactions.” “It’s all that we do, which ensures speed to market, speed to settlement, and a positive client experience.” “My clients live and breathe agriculture – they’re progressive, proactive with succession and enjoy being challenged on their thinking, and as their manager, it’s a fascinating proposition.” Since starting her role last month, Dee has spent much of her time on the road visiting farmers, and is thrilled to be working back in the regions where she forged her career all those years ago. “I’ve always loved to travel, and am forever curious about business and progression,” she smiles. “I’m very much looking forward to getting out and about and working hand-in-hand with these exciting large-scale agribusinesses.” Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gWUFBZKK #RaboPeople #Rabobank #Agribusiness #RaboMAC Dee Commins Tim Felan

“If I hadn’t of done the Rabo Executive Development Program I probably wouldn’t sleep at night, but I feel empowered that we have options, and can plan for scenario A, B or C – and I’m at a stage in my life that I can think things through without panicking, which is important for the children to see considering the uncertain nature of agriculture.”   Tasmania’s Helen Baillie and her family have built a vibrant prime lamb and dairy heifer agistment operation, and having participated in the 2019 Rabobank Executive Development Program (EDP), Helen attributes their business success, and its growth since, directly to her learnings from the program.   “It’s because of the EDP that I have a renewed and acute understanding of the business, we knew it was relatively safe to grow the business and push those limits, and could articulate the ‘how’ and the ‘why’ thanks to benchmarking and strategy meetings, and we had the confidence to leverage our equity to acquire more land.” “Before the EDP I never would have contemplated the investment we made. Our growth has been so much greater than any of us anticipated, but it’s something that makes us all very excited for the future.”   “It’s always so valuable getting like-minded people of different generations into a learning environment together, and my greatest takeaway was that there is risk in growing a farm business, but there is more risk in not growing.”   Applications for the Rabobank 2025/26 EDP open January 21st. #Rabobank #AgriEducation #ExecutiveDevelopmentProgram #Farming #Agriculture https://lnkd.in/gZZSA8R4
