Alain Goubau is the CEO of Combyne Ag, which builds farmer-centric grain marketing management software.

Alain grew up on a mixed dairy and grain farm in Ontario, Canada. Prior to Combyne Ag, Alain led operations at 2 agtech and wind energy startups.

Through its Combyne Connect software integration capabilities, Combyne is designed to neutrally connect into both on-farm apps and grain buyer software systems.
