Leadership
Marcus
Founder, Head of Global Bean Intelligence
Former intelligence officer. Now a seeker of legendary beans.
As the story goes, before joining forces with Exotic Joe and tracking coffee across continents, Marcus navigated the darker corners of global intelligence in worlds most people only hear about in redacted reports. He completed advanced training with a variety of federal agencies, mastering the art of intelligence gathering, threat detection, and the fine balance between discretion and action, as he worked in the high-stakes environment of national security. Marcus served as a counterintelligence officer with one of the nation’s most premier intelligence agencies, supporting elite special operations teams on missions in complex environments that rarely made the headlines and bad intel could mean real consequences (and bad coffee was the least of your worries).
But fate (and caffeine) introduced him to Exotic Joe. One shared cup of a mysterious jungle roast later, and the mission changed: helping Exotic Joe locate the most elusive coffee beans on Earth. Today, Marcus applies his unique skills to track down hidden farms, decode rare harvest cycles, and figure out how to ship beans from volcanoes without drawing attention from coffee cartels.
From farms guarded by howler monkeys to places so remote even GPS gives up, Marcus is the man behind the mission — and the one you want on your side when things get bold.
