About me 
What started as a trip to Rwanda turned into a lasting career in coffee. Over the past eight years, I have lived and worked across East Africa and Indonesia, sourcing coffees at origin, building direct arabica and robusta supply chains, and developing long-term relationships with farmers, producers, and exporters. In 2025, I returned to Europe, where I have the privilege of leading Sucafina’s Specialty team across Europe and the Middle East, including the Rehm Coffee team since July 2026.
