Charles is half Swiss half Irish but grew up in Hong Kong. He did his Bachelor’s in Comparative Politics at the University of Bergen, Norway before doing his MSc in Environment and Sustainable Development at University College London in the UK.
Before entering the world of Cacao & Coffee, Charles was part of the Government Innovation team at Bloomberg Philanthropies, the charitable foundation of Michael R. Bloomberg. He worked on a number of programs, including the Latin American iteration of the Mayors Challenge, a competition encouraging cities to generate bold new ideas that solve urban challenges, improve city life and have the potential to spread. Little did he know then that his connection to Latin America was about to become a lot more personal.
For Charles his love of great quality food and drink along with sustainable development are two peas of the same pod. Before joining Bloomberg he was the Project Coordinator for the City of Bergen’s application to join the UNESCO Creative Cities Network of Gastronomy, and after that was on the management team of a local Norwegian NGO in Oslo to get an “Ombudsman for Future Generations” set up in Norway.
His Cacao & Coffee journey started in earnest after Mary’s family brought him in as one of their own and involved him directly in their new venture. Now, Charles is able to focus his love of fine flavours and passion for sustainable development in Latin America through the production and distribution of great quality and carefully sourced Coffee & Cacao products. He has become the assigned to deal with all things Coffee and is rapidly formalising his knowledge by completing the SCA certification.
Charles is always up for a chat, so feel free to email or call directly to get in touch.
