CEO, Klatch Coffee
Heather Perry ’04
When she graduated from CPP, Heather Perry’s coffee prowess combined with her business education put her on a trajectory to be the ideal CEO of a coffee company. Heather applied her business acumen as she ascended from member to board member to president of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), which merged the U.S.-based organization with its counterpart in Europe during her tenure. Networking with coffee industry titans around the world through the SCA, trade shows and barista competitions allowed Heather to build Klatch into an internationally known company. “Yes, there are stressful days, but I love what we get to do, love our team members, love the people we meet through our business,” says Heather, who won the 2003 and 2007 U.S. Barista Championships.
