I like to spend time outdoors, getting some fresh air and exercise with my family, which often combines with taking my kids to/from some activities on foot or by bike. I also like to cook, share a noisy meal with my family full of laughter and conversation.
This is a hard question because I’ve been to so many beautiful places! Many of these were on field trips looking at coffee farms. One of the most beautiful has got to be walking from waterfall to waterfall and swimming in the pristine natural environment of Bonito in Brazil with fishes, birds and insects all around, which we did as a family in 2019.
I’d take my whole extended family on a super fun holiday. After that I’d probably give much of the rest of the money away to people who need it more than I do.

Move your mouse over the circles or tap on them to see how Ana has answered:
Coffee has always had a place in his life: Cariappa Nadikerianda grew up on his family’s farm and has always been involved in coffee. In his early 20’s he started working in his family’s business which manages and leases coffee farms in Southern India and developed his passion for coffee during that time. He has been working for NKG for the last seven years. First, as a trader, then as Commercial director and currently as COO at NKG East Africa.
When somebody is in need, there is this one person, who will for sure be very kind and helpful: Paula Vasquez Caetano, Director Assistant at NKG Stockler, our new “Integrity Champion”! What makes her the perfect champion and so valuable for the NKG community, especially Stockler? No matter which kind of problem, her colleagues always ask Paula for help, because they know that she will find the right solution. Her constructive, helpful attitude combined with the heartfelt commitment she shows makes her not only a wonderful colleague to work with but also a friend in the daily (work) life. Congratulations and all the best for you, Paula!
