AgTalk S2E9 - Future Leader Series - Making a Career in the Live Export Market with Kari Moffat

Marcus Oldham AgTalk

It is our pleasure to welcome Kari Moffat to the Marcus Oldham AgTalk podcast.

Kari is the first of a series of ex-Marcus Oldham students who I will be profiling on this podcast from time to time as part of the Future Leader Series.

The reason I am doing this is that I believe that agriculture today is one of the most exciting industries to be involved in and I want to showcase some of the opportunities out there for young people in this industry.

Kari completed a Bachelor of Business (Agriculture) in 2017 and a Diploma of Equine Management in 2013 at Marcus Oldham.

Originally from Northern Victoria, since leaving Marcus, Kari has made a career in the live export industry. Her current role sees here as the Animal Welfare Assurance Manager for AUSTREX. AUSTREX is a leader in the global livestock industry and a pioneer of the livestock export trade.

Kari is also the Chair and Co-Founder of the Young Livestock Exporters Network and is a mentor partner of the Graeme Acton Beef Mentoring Programme. Kari is driven to bridge what she sees as a fundamental gap in understanding the difference in cultural values between Australia and our exporting destination.
Most recently Kari was recognised as a winner of the 2021 CCA NAB Agribusiness Rising Champion Initiative. This program is designed to foster the leadership and business skills of emerging beef industry leaders aged between 21-40.
