For the last two years, I have been building Curu, a coffee retail business that revolutionizes the impact of a cup of coffee. Curu connects smallholder coffee farmers to consumers who love our planet, so we can create positive change together. My background in managing complex distressed investments helps me navigate the complex challenges and opportunities of building a people and nature-positive business.Curu has developed a sustainable supply chain that prioritizes environmental action by investing in our partner farmers. We have established partnerships with farmers, local communities and governmental organizations to support nature-positive farming. I am passionate about the beauty and diversity of life on Earth. Through Curu, I aim to inspire and empower coffee farmers and consumers to join in our mission to make a simple cup of coffee a force for good.
