Jake Parker works with Tamarack Software, a company that develops technology solutions for the forestry and forest products industry. In his role in software sales and business development, he works with lumber producers and forestry operations to improve data management, forecasting, and operational efficiency. The position requires regular collaboration with professionals across the supply chain, including procurement foresters, mill operators, lumber sales teams, and logistics managers. Although technology-focused roles are not always the most traditional path for forestry graduates, Parker says the MFR in Forest Business program helped prepare him to work at the intersection of forestry, business, and technology.
