Born and raised near Hamburg in Germany, Jorit originally studied business and computing, graduating from the
University of Applied Sciences in Berlin with a BBC (business and computing) in 2003. Following this he worked
at and co-owned a fast growing ICT company based in Berlin, Germany. Here Jorit was responsible for the
project management, design and implementation of speech recognition applications. In 2007, he moved to Dunedin to
undertake an MBA at the University of Otago. As the final part of the programme, Jorit worked as a consultant
for a forestry company and completed a thesis on climate change and the impacts of the NZ emission trading
scheme on the forestry industry.
Jorit joined AbacusBio after completing the MBA programme in 2008. He works in different areas, including sustainability, specialising
in climate change, emission trading and carbon footprinting methods. Jorit works with clients to determine the
impacts of the emission trading scheme on their farm business. This process involves determining a farm’s
carbon footprint, developing strategies to reduce the impact
of the emission trading scheme, overlooking emission trading compliance
requirements, project management to reach client’s goals and ongoing monitoring of farm progress. At AbacusBio,
he also continues to work in the IT and ICT sector managing software development projects and
working as a business analyst, helping clients to manage
their IT risk and to identify best solutions and
architectures for their business. Finally Jorit also works in the areas of IP
protection, technology evaluation and economic analysis.
Some projects:
-
Analysis of the value of a new dairy technology and
establishment of an appropriate royalty rate for a
commercial partner,
-
Evaluation of potential economic benefits (CBA) for UK farmers and wider society
generated by a genome wide
selection scheme,
-
Development of a technology roadmap for an innovative
technology with the goal to secure and strengthen New
Zealand's international position,
-
Assessment of IP position and competitive situation for
a specific research topic followed by strategy
development and action plan.
His passion for the environment spills out into his leisure activities, where he enjoys skiing, diving, fishing,
hunting and is
an amateur ornithologist. He is also a keen basketball and tennis player.
As the global focus on climate change increases, Jorit believes the primary sector has
to deal with the far-reaching implications of the New
Zealand Emission Trading Scheme and that farmers have the potential to
adapt by modifying current practices and using smart
technologies. His background in these areas will ensure that
our clients are well positioned to take advantage of carbon trading as its influence on farm profitability increases.
