With nearly three decades in the specialty coffee industry, I’ve built my career around elevating coffee quality, strengthening café partnerships, and shaping sustainable commercial growth across Australia’s café landscape. My journey began as a barista during university, eventually leading me to purchase a small café, co‑found Naked Coffee, and become an active contributor to the Australian Specialty Coffee Association. A chance encounter with Will Young brought Campos Coffee to Queensland, where I helped grow the brand’s footprint and reputation before stepping into national leadership. Today, as Commercial Director at Campos Coffee, I oversee national commercial strategy, customer relationships, and the development of our wholesale network. I’ve opened flagship cafés, supported hundreds of café partners, served on the Cup of Excellence international jury, and worked hands‑on across every part of the value chain—from sourcing and roasting to training and customer experience. My passion lies in bringing specialty coffee values to scale while maintaining authenticity, quality, and connection.
