About Ted Engelen
With over eight years of work experience in the agriculture and food industry, I am a passionate and driven risk management expert who thrives on delivering innovative and impactful solutions for farmers and clients. As a manager at Indigo, I leverage my expertise in commodity price management, portfolio optimization, market analysis, and agricultural derivatives trading to facilitate the development and execution of native portfolio and order management systems, and to design robust risk management strategies and products that enable sustainable and profitable growth. In my current role, I also provide training and guidance to growers and grower-facing teams on market fundamentals and commodity price management, and communicate macro market trends, prices, and portfolio risk implications to internal stakeholders through weekly market newsletter updates. Additionally, I forecast price risk movements in corn, soy, wheat, and rice, and analyze emerging carbon markets and develop in-house policy guidelines. Through these activities, I have contributed to ensuring farmer and institutional client satisfaction, securing sustainable growth growth, and achieving complex financial goals and risk limits.
