Biography
Damien Lepoutre is the president and founder of Geosys. As an agronomist, he always had a passion for agriculture but quickly made his own path in the industry in the early 1980’s, when he started in remote sensing at NFAP (a joint NASA-USDA/FS program). Lepoutre expanded his technology background through his work in the IT department of the French Ministry of Agriculture where he developed software to advise growers on best application practices for chemicals. Soon after, he started the remote sensing and GIS lab of the French Ministry of Agriculture in what is now IRSTEA. By 1987, he founded Geosys to better serve the needs of agribusiness and growers. Lepoutre has an executive MBA from Toulouse Business School and consults with numerous organizations based on his unique background and experience in successfully developing an international business in digital ag technologies.
