Mesh Gelman, Founder & CEO, The Cumulus Coffee Company

Mesh is the founder and CEO of The Cumulus Coffee Company, which has created the first-ever solution for creating specialty cold brew beverages at home in a matter of seconds. He launched Cumulus after years of research and development, working with a team of experts across coffee, technology, and design.

Mesh brings decades of experience in coffee, innovation, and entrepreneurship to this latest venture. He spent six years at Starbucks, first overseeing all store retail and brand partnerships and then leading Starbucks’ innovation incubator. Mesh was at Starbucks when they launched cold brew in 2015 and it was his first-hand experience of the beverage’s meteoric rise that inspired him to find a solution for crafting quality cold brew at home.

Before starting Cumulus, Mesh was the founder and CEO of Two Canoes, a consulting and venture firm that advised global consumer brands on growth and innovation while incubating ideas for new disruptive consumer products and technologies. His first venture was a home fashion company that designed and manufactured soft goods for major retailers throughout the U.S.

Mesh is based in New York.
