José Carlos Monteiro Junior

Manager – Agricultural Technology & Geospatial Solutions @ Tereos

About

I have over 10 years of experience in agribusiness, working at the intersection of technology and large-scale agricultural operations. Throughout my career, I have focused on connecting field execution, data and decision-making to make operations more efficient, productive and reliable. I currently lead the Geotechnologies and Agricultural Technology area at Tereos Group in Brazil, overseeing initiatives such as aerial imagery, geoprocessing, auto-steering systems, operational maps and decision-support solutions used across multiple agricultural units. My role involves structuring, testing and scaling agricultural technologies in close connection with field teams and daily operations. I have also led the Agricultural Quality area, an experience that broadened my perspective on governance, processes and the importance of turning technology into practical results. I have worked in environments that require strategic thinking, applied innovation and operational excellence, always with a focus on clearer decisions, more efficient operations and sustainable value creation.
