Ray has based his entire career on bringing technology to the agriculture and fresh food industry. He has held several key positions and has built a reputation of success and trust across these industries. Most recently, he was the Vice President of Food Traceability at iTradeNetwork, overseeing the product strategy for a range of supply chain solutions including fresh food, supply chain Traceability, Food Safety and Quality Control. Ray was at iTradeNetwork from 2014 to 2017.

Creating an innovative partner program, he initiated a system to enable companies in the fresh food space, to ‘discover’ one another, facilitating and improving product and technology sourcing across the FoodLink network. FoodLink was sold to iTradeNetwork in 2014.
