ABOUT ME
My name is Emad Hamdi, and I worked as an area manager for two years and as a head barista for two years. I have eleven years of total experience in the coffee industry, and I use this experience to pursue any kind of business that is associated with this field. Taking advantage of this chance, I want to learn more about managing and building strong business relationships.
It is a privilege and a challenge to have worked in the coffee industry for this long. A privilege since I gained knowledge about coffee's complexity, from roasting to flavor extraction to creating a range of drinks. a challenge since, in this field, you never truly stop learning; you always pick up new skills that will help you continue to create innovative coffee flavors, experiments, and concepts.
Working in a specialty bakery that serves a variety of pastries and sweets has given me the opportunity to learn about both coffee and pastries, which I am glad to say. Understanding this area is also an extra skill because having a good menu that everyone can enjoy is essential in any coffee business. I have visited a few specialty coffee shops and bakeries that have a large selection of drinks and menu items, which gives me the idea to carry out more research.
My experience working as a Head Barista and an Area Manager allowed me to exercise my flexibility, knowledge, leadership, adaptability, organizational skills, and time management. This opened doors to opportunities and ideas that motivate me to work independently and cultivate positive relationships with people who are interested in investing in high-quality products and aiming for exceptional outcomes.
