MBW Committee

Stacey has made a career in the Australian red meat industry, from her first job packing beef during school holidays through to her current role with the Australia’s Peak Industry Association for the red meat industry Australian Meat Industry Council (AMIC).

Amy Brooks is Marketing Manager at Stockyard Beef, a leading exporter of high quality grain fed beef from Australia to markets around the world. Amy manages and coordinates all marketing, advertising, promotional activities and brand positioning for Stockyard Beef.

Amy has over 15 years agribusiness experience. Her contribution to the Australian agriculture and food industry stretches beyond the marketing of a niche, high quality beef brand. Amy is committed to enhancing the profile, reputation and experience of women, as a committee member of the Australian chapter of Meat Business Women.

Amy is an Indigenous woman and proud descendant of the Wulli Wulli people. Her connection to country and perspective as a woman of colour and traditional owner is valued by many. She sits on the OBE Organic Reconciliation Action Plan committee and is a Non-Executive Director of the Woorabinda Pastoral Company. These roles provide Amy an opportunity to influence positive change at both a grassroots and global level for women and Indigenous people.

Amy regularly provides her perspective at speaking engagements, where she shares her personal journey, as well as her professional perspective as a woman in agriculture with a lived experience of diversity and inclusion.

Nadine Giusti is the brand manager for NH Foods Australia, a wholly owned subsidiary of NH Foods Ltd (Japan). In her role at NH Foods Australia, Nadine oversees the brand development and marketing of their award-winning beef range that includes Wagyu, black angus and grassfed programmes.  She is also responsible for handling the branding and marketing requirements of the Australian Group’s 5 subsidiaries including one of the largest and state-of-the-art feedlot operations in the southern hemisphere (Whyalla Beef), three processing plants and the domestic sales division, Beef Producers Australia.

Nadine joined the company mid-2018 in this newly created role and has since enjoyed working with the diverse mix of colleagues across all divisions.  Having attended the MBW launch event in April 2019 with herself and 2 co-workers, Nadine championed internally for a greater attendance at the next event which saw representatives from each subsidiary come together for it in Brisbane.

Having joined the red meat industry following a long and diverse career in the automotive industry, Nadine is excited to be a part of the MBW committee and work towards more opportunities to build the profile of women in the red meat industry.
