Nicole Bavaud
Council Member, COFCO Resources SA
Nicole joined COFCO International as Global Head of International Operations for Grains and Oilseeds in September 2021. During her career, she has assumed multiple responsibilities (such as Head of Letter of credit for a Swiss bank, Head of Operations for various commodities trading companies and Head of Trade Finance (EMEA) for a petroleum company). She has gained solid experience in contracts, operations, trade finance, laytime, key industry sustainability issues, digital transformation, and application of “blockchain” to build more efficient processes.
She believes that Agri industry must continue to transform being Actor instead of Spectator. This needs to be pushed to the next level by accelerating the digitization of post-trade processes and by encouraging the existing good efforts already taken by our industry on sustainability topics.
Being of enthusiastic and collaborative nature, Nicole wants to promote diversity and equality among the workforces.
