David Compton
Senior Agribusiness Consultant
Grown up on properties in the NSW Southern Highlands and South-West Slopes, Dave has an extensive background in both recruitment and agriculture, and has successfully brought the two together to specialise in Agribusiness recruitment.
Dave comes from a farming background, having grown up on properties in the NSW Southern Highlands and South-West Slopes, where his family ran mixed enterprises across stud and commercial cattle, broadacre cropping, hay production and fine wool. After obtaining a Bachelor of Business (Finance) degree, he spent his early career working concurrently on the family farms and running a property development business in Sydney building medium density residential units. In 2010, he committed to a full-time life in Sydney and ventured into the recruitment field. Specialising in senior appointments and executive search assignments across various industries, Dave particularly focused on corporate farming/funds management, commodity marketing, Research and Development Corporations, life sciences, and industry groups. Additionally, Dave possesses unique expertise in recruiting finance roles within the agribusiness sector. Beyond work, he enjoys skiing, scuba diving, and sports bikes, spending much of his winter free time between home and the snowy mountains with his daughter, Eve.
