Mr. Mathew Mugo, Director of Gibsons Coffee, is a distinguished Kenyan entrepreneur recognized for transforming a humble farm operation into one of the region’s most complete and influential coffee value-addition enterprises. He commands every stage of the supply chain with precision, from cultivating and processing his own coffee to roasting, packaging, and delivering premium products that have earned a respected place on retail shelves across Kenya. With experience running three successful coffee house restaurants in Nairobi, Mr. Mugo continues to innovate within Gibsons Coffee, offering premium roasted coffee, instant coffee selections and a new 3-in-1 blend designed for modern, youthful consumers.

His company additionally provides private-label roasting and packaging coffee services for businesses. A great conversation opener he often shares: how integrating macadamia trees into coffee farms has doubled his diversification income while improving coffee quality, a model that investors find highly scalable across Africa.
