A new hire and a new project.

90 days ago Onyx Coffee officially hired Kelli Bakker as director of operations (on July 1, 2009).  Kelli has come a long way since she founded her first business before she had a drivers license in the highly lucrative wholesale and distribution of worms for fish bait.

In her most recent job, Kelli managed a 32 Million dollar budget, fleets of helicopters, plethoras of Phd’s doing research in Alaskas North Slope and is now trading all this for slurping some coffee and hanging out with farmers, baristas and everyone in between.  With a passion for people, coffee, and education she is a perfect fit.  She has played a vital role in facilitating rapid growth for three  different companies transitioning from a start up  to a multi million dollar company.

One might say she is a start up guru.  While Onyx itself is a small humble company, we like putting people together and making things happen and we love good coffee.  Our latest project is www.hariousa.com.  If you are interested in partnering in some form with HARIO USA, Kelli will be the one to talk to.
