Food security focus
Adolf Greeff is an accomplished business strategist, entrepreneur and relationship builder with a career spanning more than 25 years across international security consulting, strategic operations, business development and agriculture. Raised with a deep passion for farming, he has always held a strong appreciation for livestock production, crop farming and the vital role agriculture plays in economic growth and food security.
Following his service with the South African Special Task Force, Adolf moved into international security consulting in 1999. Since then he has established and managed complex operations across multiple countries, working alongside multinational corporations, government stakeholders and private investors in challenging, high-risk environments, including establishing security operations in Iraq during a period of major reconstruction. This experience has given him deep expertise in strategic planning, operational execution, risk management and leadership under pressure.
Adolf is known for building trusted relationships across industries and cultures, from operational teams and business owners to international investors, financial institutions and government representatives, and has built an extensive international business network.
Today he leads Agri for Africa, an agricultural acquisition platform focused on assembling large-scale farming enterprises and strategic agricultural assets to strengthen food security across Africa and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Believing that successful ventures are built by exceptional people, he has assembled a multidisciplinary team of financial specialists, business managers, legal advisors, operational experts and industry consultants to provide the governance, technical expertise and execution capability that large-scale international investment requires.
