CCO
Healthy cows live longer, experience less stress, and perform better. Additionally, behind every healthy and high-performing herd is a well-informed farmer. CowManager’s monitoring system offers full herd visibility, boosting both animal welfare and farm profitability. The Chief Commercial Officer drives the commercial strategy that will enable this innovative agri-tech company to double in size.
CowManager was founded on the simple belief that farming could – and should – be easier. This vision inspired Dutch dairy farmer Gerard Griffioen to develop the first ear sensors for cows in 2004, establishing CowManager. The pioneering company – part of Agis Innovations – has been at the forefront of innovation ever since.
Through advanced sensor technology and data-driven insights, CowManager helps modern dairy farms optimize herd performance, operational efficiency, and animal welfare. The company’s monitoring system provides real-time insights into fertility, health, nutrition, and location. Whether managing 20 or 120,000 cows, farmers gain full visibility over their herds through proven, effective workflows and data-driven alerts that enable proactive intervention. Today, thousands of farmers across the globe have 24/7 control over their cattle thanks to CowManager’s monitoring service.
Collaborating closely with farmers and partners worldwide, CowManager believes those who adopt its technology become among the best farmers in the world – equipped with a strong network, powerful insights, and the tools to farm differently. CowManager doesn’t work for farmers but with them. Sharing ideas and knowledge is essential for growing together, driving innovation, and shaping the future of dairy farming.
