Following today’s Extraordinary General Meeting, Desert Control announces the appointment of two internationally experienced leaders in agricultural inputs and digital agriculture. Their combined expertise strengthens our governance and supports our continued expansion across global agricultural markets.
Strengthening Governance for Global Growth
Desert Control is pleased to announce the appointment of Juli Jessen and Jacob Christfort to the Company’s Board of Directors.
Their addition marks an important step in strengthening our governance, industry expertise, and strategic execution as we continue scaling across global agricultural markets.
A Stronger Board for a Scaling Company
As Desert Control advances its mission to enable water-efficient agriculture and restore soil health in vulnerable ecosystems, the depth and diversity of our Board is critical.
The appointments of Juli Jessen and Jacob Christfort add significant experience across agricultural inputs, digital farming technologies, and international growth strategies — all core pillars of our next phase of development.
Juli Jessen
Juli Jessen brings more than three decades of leadership experience in agricultural inputs, most recently serving as CEO of Gowan Group.
With a strong foundation in science-driven innovation and global market expansion, Jessen has led organizations at the forefront of crop protection and agricultural development. His experience navigating international markets, regulatory frameworks, and commercial scaling provides valuable insight as Desert Control continues expanding its footprint in permanent agriculture.
His perspective will support the Company’s long-term strategy of integrating soil science, field performance validation, and global commercialization.
Jacob Christfort
Jacob Christfort, Founder and CEO of Ranch Systems, contributes deep expertise in agricultural technology, IoT, and data-driven irrigation management.
He has built and scaled technology platforms that enable precision irrigation and real-time farm management — tools increasingly critical in a world of tightening water resources and regulatory oversight.
Christfort’s experience in digital agriculture and operational scaling complements Desert Control’s soil-based water efficiency solutions, strengthening the Company’s ability to integrate physical soil enhancement with intelligent irrigation management systems.
Aligned for the Next Phase
Together, Jessen and Christfort bring complementary capabilities across:
- Crop inputs and global distribution networks
- AgTech and precision irrigation systems
- Data-driven farm management
- Operational scaling and growth execution
Their combined experience aligns strongly with Desert Control’s next phase of development as we advance our strategy in water-efficient agriculture and sustainable soil restoration.
We look forward to their contributions and guidance as we continue building long-term value for farmers, partners, and shareholders worldwide.
