Dogtooth is thrilled to announced the appointment of Jorge Heraud as chairman of our board.
Having achieved a significant inflection point in robot productivity, we are now equipping our first customers to adopt dexterous harvesting robots at scale. As we embark on this exciting next phase of our journey, we are hugely fortunate to be able to benefit from Jorge’s experience and wisdom.
To members of the agricultural robotics community, Jorge will need little introduction. He co-founded and served as CEO of Blue River Technology, a company that uses computer vision and AI to detect plants individually and reduce chemical use. After Blue River was acquired by John Deere in 2017, he became their VP of Automation and Autonomy, leading a team of over 600 people. Earlier in his career, he worked at Trimble Navigation International Ltd as Director of Engineering and Business Unit Director for Precision Agriculture. He holds master’s degrees in both engineering and business from Stanford University.
