Harvard MBA and Walls Street Analyst turned Coffee entrepreneur

Diaspo - The success stories of and by immigrants

Margaret “Maggy" Nyamumbo is the Founder and CEO of Kahawa 1893, a San Francisco-based coffee company with a goal to address the glaring inequality between the unsustainable prices farmers receive and the value of the coffee they produce as well as closing the industry's gender gap, while using Bitcoin to enhance transparency. Margaret has a BS in Economics and Statistics from Smith College, (she also studied Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science), and she obtained an MBA from Harvard. Prior to launching Kahawa 1893, Margaret worked on Wall Street, at the World Bank, and at Analysis Group (an economic consulting firm).
