Our Team
At Black Box Co, we’re a people-first company.
Our team is based remotely across Australia, but we’re never out of reach. Whether you’re in the yards, at the kitchen table, or on the road between properties, we pride ourselves on being available when you need us—and we always pick up the phone.
Our team brings real-world experience across the entire beef supply chain, from fertility and genomics to nutrition and meat science. That on-ground knowledge means we don’t just understand the data—we understand the work behind it. And we’re here to make sure the insights Black Box delivers lead to practical, effective action on farm, in the feedlot, and through to processing.
From setting up dashboards to optimising crush-side systems, we’re here to help—because when it comes to supporting producers, we back people first, always.
