Thuy Pham’s first job related to coffee was as a coffee trader at NKG Rep. Office Vietnam (in charge of Rothfos Corporation account). She discovered her passion for coffee when she was able to learn more about the coffee supply chain and the story behind every good cup of coffee – which is all about the hard and good work of the coffee farmers, the collectors, processors, traders, logistic people, roasters, distributors … Starting as a coffee trader 26 years ago, Thuy works at NKG for 26 years. After becoming deputy director, her current position is now Chief Representative of NKG Rep. Office in Vietnam. What she likes most about her work at NKG is the working atmosphere at NKG and her office, where they have “a very good team with dedicated, hardworking but sympathetic people”, as Thuy says. “For us, going to work is like going to our second home, we can work with our enthusiasm but without feeling pressure”, she adds. How does she answer our questions? Find out in the following!  

In 2013, Changsu started his first coffee job as a manager/co-owner of a roastery coffee house called Assa Coffee in Kathmandu, Nepal. He just recently joined NKG in July this year as a COO of NKG Korea. How he discovered his passion for coffee? That is a really interesting story: “Being a missionary apprentice in Nepal, I’ve sought after a cash crop which can aid in alleviating the poverty and empowering entrepreneurial young kids in Nepal. And I found coffee to be the perfect tool for such purpose.” What an inspiring reason to enter the coffee industry! We are very happy that he now chose NKG to participate with his passion and knowledge, and that he, too, likes working with us and the teams in our Asia Hub. So, let’s get to know Changsu a bit better!
