Meet Patty Bonsera, CBCI, CERT, GRIT-LEAD
Founder of Resilient Coffee Pros
“I am your strongest advocate for building resilience in your specialty coffee business.”
I bring over 20 years of experience in finance and more than a decade of expertise in developing, implementing, and managing risk management and business continuity plans.
My Entrepreneurial Journey
2001: Left full-time corporate career
After 19 years as a full-time securities trader, I shifted to part-time to stay home with my newborn daughter.
2002: First entry into disaster recovery and resilience
In 2002, following the 9/11 crisis, I was entrusted with developing a disaster recovery plan for the boutique investment firm I worked for.
2004: Pursued entrepreneurship full time
In 2004, I pursued entrepreneurship full time.
I understand firsthand the pain and challenges that come with disruptions, especially when you're unprepared. That's why I've dedicated my work to helping specialty coffee shops and roasters build resilient businesses through contingency planning and emergency readiness, ensuring you can thrive with stability and peace of mind.
My mission is to use my expertise and passion to make a lasting impact on the coffee industry, and I'm always eager to collaborate with like-minded individuals who share this vision of success.
For more of my professional credentials and experience, connect with me on LinkedIn.
A Beach Gal at Heart
I grew up on Long Island, spent several years living in Germany, and called the Midwest home for two decades.
I'm a proud mom of three grown kids, with two wonderful daughters-in-law and two adorable granddaughters.
The beach has always been my happy place, thanks to summers spent on the shores of Long Island and love to travel.
When I’m not designing contingency plans for specialty coffee shops and roasters, you’ll find me baking irresistibly decadent, coffee-infused cupcakes. Yum!
