FORMER MONSANTO VENTURE EXEC RYAN RAKESTRAW JOINS SINGAPORE INVESTMENT FIRM
Mar. 28, 2018
Deal Street Asia reports:
Ryan Rakestraw, a former executive at Monsanto's corporate venture unit, has joined Singapore's Temasek as an associate director in the state-owned investor's agriculture-focused venture arm. Rakestraw, who joined Temasek this month, will focus on agriculture and food-related venture capital investments, according to his LinkedIn profile.
"Given the importance of agricultural and food-related innovation needed to feed a growing global population, to support better nutrition, and to increase the sustainability of global agricultural production - Temasek is seeking to back promising entrepreneurs and teams that can profitably address these needs with new technologies and business models," Rakestraw said in his profile.
At Monsanto, he was a Venture Principal from early 2015 where he made investments in growth-stage companies from seed stage through IPO. Before Monsanto, he was an Adjunct Professor of Finance at the Olin Business School.
