Hi! I'm Dawn Pinaud.
RENOWNED COFFEE EXPERT
with over 30 years experience helping the world's most successful brands
COFFEE IS MY SPECIALTY
As specialty coffee consultant, I've worked for beverage-and-bean stores around the globe, developing complete coffee-focused concepts from start to finish.
After working for Starbucks in the very beginning (as first employee under CEO, Howard Schultz), I built a career around elevating coffee. And I can proudly say I come with the best references in the industry.
​
Currently, I consult on a diverse range of projects - from site selection, planning, innovative new beverages, financial projections, to training, managing operations and recruiting the industry's best talent. I still find myself at the table with Fortune 500 Executives putting in my 2 cents on the specialty coffee industry or new beverage trends.
MY STORY
My journey is a long one but worth a read. Especially over a great cup of Dawn's Blend coffee!
