New Regional Manager for Northern Australia
Cotton Australia welcomes Abaigh Gleeson as its new Regional Manager, Northern Australia.
Based in Kununurra for the past three years, Abaigh has worked across both commercial and research agronomy, building strong knowledge of northern farming systems and the opportunities and challenges facing growers in the region.
Her experience extends beyond agronomy, with a professional background spanning policy, biosecurity, law and fisheries, providing a broad understanding of northern Australia's agricultural landscape.
Having grown up in Northern Australia, Abaigh has a longstanding connection to the region's primary industries and is looking forward to working closely with growers and industry stakeholders.
Outside of work, Abaigh is active in the Kununurra community, serving as Commodore of the local sailing club and volunteering with local organisations.
Abaigh will join Cotton Australia on 13 July and said she is looking forward to contributing to the continued growth and sustainability of the northern cotton industry.
