Heather Kelley

Founder & CEO, Beverage Business Consulting

I'm Heather, and I've been in the coffee industry for over 25 years. I've had the privilege of working with some of the best brands and in various roles, from a barista to a VP of Sales, in cafes, roasters, manufacturers, distributors, brokers, hospitality, and food service. My expertise lies in coffee, emerging brands, product commercialization, sales strategies, and growth.

I speak all the ‘business’ languages, (jargon and acronyms included) that are spoken in different industries such as Food Service, CPG/Grocery, Omni Channel, and more! I can help you translate them for your business and ensure that you're always ahead of the game.

I'm a firm believer in the idea that success isn't a zero-sum game. I have a passion for helping others succeed in the industry I know best. That's why I founded Beverage Business Consulting with the express mission to “Rise by lifting others”.
