Sourcing Consultant

Mar 2021 - Present
My work aims to promote stakeholder equity in complex supply chains like coffee. I ask difficult questions of myself and others. I translate (both literally and figuratively) between rural producers in the Global South and urban consumers in post-industrial economies like the US and Europe. My multi-disciplinary approach uses data analysis, business strategy, creative acumen, and a unique network of collaborators.
