Graeme Taylor heads the Food and Agriculture practice in the Brussels office of Rud Pedersen Public Affairs. With 20 years of experience, Graeme has worked right across the public and private spectrum, with roles in national government; as a diplomat representing a national government in Brussels; in the European Commission; Director of Public Affairs for a Brussels-based industry association; and, latterly as the global head of media relations and public affairs for a major multinational company. In that time he has worked on a range of issues from reputation management to product defence – and has advised CEOs, Ambassadors, Ministers and Commissioners. Awarded “European Public Affairs Professional of the Year” in 2018, Graeme has a unique insight into the workings of EU, national and global decision making, and the imperatives that drive and impact business, and relishes putting that experience to work together with his passion and energy for food and agriculture issues.
