As a successful entrepreneur with a proven track-record in the oil and gas sector, I understand the sensibility of keeping one's business options open. Therefore, when a friend stopped by our home in 2008 to get our opinion on a new coffee business she was launching, I was open to hearing more.

Having dealt with commodities for decades, we knew that coffee - which is the #2 traded commodity after oil - just made sense. So, we trusted our business instincts. We made the business decision to embrace a vision and became Founding Members of Canadian-based Organo. That was June 2008. Today, Organo is a globally-recognized brand and has surpassed a billion dollars in sales in more than 40 international markets.

And for us, the journey is just beginning….
