Rob Sexton is CEO of Yeo Valley, the west country based organic food producer, a family business based on sites near to its roots on a Somerset farm. 

Regenerative work is right at the heart of what this brand is about, and Rob is the real deal when it comes to pursuing the meaning of regenerative farming into the wider food system. He comes from a farming family and his links to the land runs through everything he does. At the same time, he’s worked in the corporate world, including a spell at Enron, and carries with him lifelong lessons that run through his leadership and values.

I’ve known Rob for many years now, and was delighted when he agreed to do this episode. This is a wonderful conversation, with a CEO with deep purpose in his heart, and a radicalism deeply grounded in the power of connection and place. I hope you enjoy it.
