Sam Grigg
Originally from Melbourne, the self-proclaimed home of the flat white, Sam's coffee career began in the high mountains of central Vietnam. Sam has already lived and worked in some of the most beautiful countries in the coffee-producing world, such as India and Colombia, where he coordinated the exports of a large coffee trader. For List + Beisler, he works out of Miami and is using his strategic acumen and bags of enthusiasm to press ahead with the expansion of the North American market. Sam is aware of the often less than ideal conditions of the farmers in the coffee producing countries, yet he is and remains an idealist. Therefore, he is assuming responsibility as a board member of a leading NGO and providing small and medium-sized coffee farms in origin countries with sustainable funding. But his tendencies for world improvement don't stop there: he never tires in his attempts to educate us in the difference between rugby and Aussie Rules football. Now that's true passion!

Gunnar Servais
When meeting Gunnar expect the unexpected: he grew up on an island in the North Sea, but ended up on the other side of the world right after high school, spending a year in Australia including desert and exotic animals. Once he returned from down under, he chose big city life in Hamburg to start training in business forwarding and logistics. Gunnar has sent quite a few commodities throughout the world along his career path. Just before joining List + Beisler he even sent himself to Tanzania for a few months.
Looking for a long-established company paired with Hanseatic values, he arrived in the beautiful warehouse district Speicherstadt at List + Beisler, handling our transit and export business. With his northern German accent, a passion for unique socks and an impressive coffee consumption, Gunnar has become firmly established in our logistics team.

Barbara Jordan
Hailing from the sunny landscapes of Arizona, Barbara has experienced coffee in many different facets. She has almost a decade of experience across the supply chain, having worked as barista and cafe manager, to being a lead educator and head roaster. Yet, it was the art of roasting what truly got her heart and made her fall in love with coffee in all its forms. Following her training in the field and role as head roaster, she obtained the Arabica Q Grader certification and led coffee training programs in the rural south of Arizona.
Recently, she made the bold move to change the picturesque scenes of Arizona for the sunny shores of Miami, where she joined our team as Coffee Trader and Q Arabica Grader. Barbara is also a student at heart and has a love for learning and growth. She aspires to continue her studies within coffee and beyond to continue on a path to refining her skills.
Besides coffee, Barbara enjoys art, photography, and writing. And even as a desert dweller, she finds herself enjoying Miami's beaches more and more.

Miguel Flores Burgos
Miguel has coffee in his blood. Born and raised in a coffee farming family in Honduras, he perfectly understands each step in the green coffee value chain, from farming up to the roaster's gate. Adding to his passion for coffee, he has a second love for data and analytics. This combination makes him an excellent asset to the team. Before working as a trader with List + Beisler, he accumulated vast knowledge in other international businesses in the food and beverage industry. He enjoys traveling, reading good books, and exploring the oceans as a diver.
