Episode 3 with David Behrends

In our third episode we are joined by David Behrends. David has an extensive career in the trading world. His career in coffee began at Dreyfus, followed by a significant 12-year tenure at Noble Group (later Coffco). Eight and a half years ago, he made a pivotal move to Geneva, joining Sucafina, where he currently is Managing Partner and Head of Trading. In addition to his extensive career in the commodities industry, David is also the founder of a startup called Farmer Connect. This venture reflects his commitment to leveraging technology and innovation to create meaningful connections within the agricultural supply chain.

We thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and hope you will too.
