Integrity is not only an abstract concept for Mary Stella, Corporate Accounting NKG India, but a concrete mission. When trying to achieve her goals, Mary Stella only needs NKG’s Code of Conduct to win the person she is talking to over. She even introduced the Code of Conduct to the GST (Goods and Services Tax Council) and convinced them from our worldwide practices at NKG. Her colleagues are very glad to work with such a respectful, friendly and confident person. All of this together with her high work ethics makes Mary Stella not only a great person to work with, but also a perfect “NKG Integrity Champion”. Congratulations, Mary Stella!

In the summer of 2021, management at InterAmerican Coffee UK in London (IAC) underwent a change: Gerrit Krüger, previously working for IAC in Hamburg, and Tom Gammer, who was already with IAC UK, were appointed as Co-Managing Directors. Neil Barwick, the previous Managing Director, also accepted a new challenge as COO at IAC in New York. Tom Gammer started his career with NKG in October 2005 as Back Office Administrator and joined InterAmerican Coffee in May 2011 as Trader/Quality Controller. Gerrit Krüger became part of NKG in 2009. Following an internship at InterAmerican Coffee in Hamburg, he took over responsibility as Specialty Trader and was promoted to Senior Trader in January 2018.
