Chris Thiesen

Head, California Sales & Service at Burro

Chris leads our Sales and Support efforts in California. He grew up on his family farm in the San Joaquin Valley, where he experienced from an early age the challenges and opportunities around using and implementing new technologies on farm. He joined our team after working for Brandt Farms, a leading grower, packer, and shipper of table grapes, stone fruit, citrus, and persimmons in and around Reedley, CA. At Brandt, he managed ranch operations at various levels, and worked implementing various early Ag technologies such as multi-spectral imaging, soil mapping, and variable rate fertility applications. From this, he has a real world understanding of technology that does what it is sold as doing, and works reliably in the field. Chris and his Wife Kasey have three kids (who love robots), and are heavily invested in their community.

Burro's mission is to solve the crushing labor problem faced by farmers today, by making collaborative robots a reality. To do this, they are starting first with Burro. Burro is a robotic platform that follows people and can autonomously run cargo around, relieving people of strenuous tasks which add little value, so that they can focus on more valuable work.
