Bernard is a qualified mechanical engineer who started his career in Rainbow Farms in 1995 as a project engineer in the largest poultry integrator in South Africa.  He worked in this role initially before accepting a newly created position as a ventilation specialist and was responsible for upgrading facilities to optimize live performance across the company.

For the next 13 years he worked on several projects within Rainbow before pursuing a career as an independent ventilation specialist in the international poultry industry. He has worked for a number of customers and experienced the prevailing environmental conditions in Asia, Eastern Europe, South America and the Middle East and Africa. During that time as a consultant, Green was also engaged in working for Aviagen and its customers and was closely tied to the company's global hatchery development and support team.

Green accepted an offer to join Aviagen Asia and in January 2016 started work as a technical service manager for the regional team.

"Bernard brings tremendous experience and depth of knowledge to our team in Asia. His customer exposure and awareness of our company make it a seamless transition and we look forward to his involvement and contribution to the future productivity of the team," commented Mark Wright, regional technical manager of Aviagen, Asia-Pacific.
