ABOUT NICOLAS FERRARA
I sit at a rare intersection: mechanical engineer, commercial strategist, and hands-on builder — with five years pioneering production technology in the Black Soldier Fly sector on top of 20+ years of international corporate experience.What I actually do: take emerging agri-food technologies from concept to industrial reality, and help the companies behind them grow. Whether that means designing automated rearing systems, shaping a 5-year technology roadmap, or walking into an investor meeting to make the technical case — I\'ve done all of it, recently.I work as an independent consultant. Open to advisory roles, technical due diligence, and strategic engagements at the intersection of production engineering and agri-food innovation.Contact: n••••••••@gmail.com
