According to Sun World, Grant has spent his career acquiring ”deep knowledge” in two specialties: agriculture and artificial intelligence.

”He recognised the potency of aligning these sectors long before others did and is acknowledged as one of the leading voices in agriculture for the integration of data, emerging technologies and AI deployment,” the group stated.

Grant has two decades of innovation and company-building experience in agriculture and food supply chains and sits on the board of directors of the International Fresh Produce Association. 

He was the CEO of ShopWell, the founding CEO of HarvestMark, and was previously vice-chair of the Produce Marketing Association.

“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Elliott for over 20 years,” said David Marguleas, Sun World’s CEO. “I don’t know anyone else who comes close to matching Elliott’s stature at the intersection of ag and tech. Not to mention that he is the quintessential left brain-right brain person who brings integrity and good humour to everything he undertakes.

”Elliott’s expertise in both sustainable ag and the application of emerging tech makes him an invaluable voice at Sun World as these are our dual priorities,” Marguleas added. ”Elliott joining our board has long been a goal of mine, and our entire team is grateful for his involvement.”
