Johannsen will lead the company in business development, working alongside Conterra’s executive team and relationship managers and shaping the company’s strategic direction as it expands.

The Iowa native has more than 21 years of experience in ag finance, most recently servicing as the Midwest Associate Director for MetLife Investment Management’s ag finance team.

The University of South Dakota and Drake University graduate says Conterra’s integrity, drive, and passion for agriculture aligned with his own. Currently residing in Altoona, Iowa, Johannsen and his wife are partners in a family row-crop operation in Northwest Iowa.

“My dedication to agriculture aligns perfectly with the direction Conterra is headed. Joining the team of ag lending experts that has been built at Conterra, I’m excited to further the company’s growth by continuing to pursue long-lasting relationships, support our team members, and create an energized work environment that clients will want to be a part of.”
