Alexander Sassenberg

Bachelor of Agribusiness, Class of 1995–96

The topic of 'Agriculture' has always excited Alexander, who now works for one of the world's most well-known Agribusiness brands in Ag, John Deere. In 1994 Alexander studied Agricultural Economics at Georg August University of Göttingen in Germany. He then decided to travel to the land down under in search of new experiences. In 1995, he looked to Roseworthy College in order to broaden his knowledge on Australian agricultural systems. Fast forward a few years and Alexander now leads a passionate team as Territory Manager for John Deere International based out of Switzerland.

What was Alexander's fondest memory while studying at Roseworthy?
"I met so many nice local and international students from all around the world during my time visiting Australia. Bundy Rum with Coke at the local pub was the drink to have those days. I brought a typical German plate to the table, Sauerkraut and Sausage so hence why I was sometimes simply called 'Kraut' by friends."
