A new start for Dr Vince O’Brien

Building on an honours degree and PhD in chemical engineering and ongoing MBA studies, he has developed expertise on lean manufacturing, product and process innovation and business strategy.

He has extensive experience in both industrial and applied research settings, establishing capacity development programs, negotiation and management of contracts, and securing funding for the wine industry.
