With a distinguished career at the intersection of international crisis management, geopolitical risk management, and security, DG Dussey brings a unique, high-level perspective on how institutions, industries, and societies can remain resilient in an increasingly complex and unpredictable world.

In his keynote, DG Dussey will draw on lessons from global crisis response and public sector leadership to explore how we manage systemic risk, safeguard supply chain integrity, and respond to shifting geopolitical and regulatory landscapes. His reflections will offer valuable insights into how industries like coffee — operating across borders and across cultures — can navigate uncertainty while remaining committed to purpose, performance, and long-term impact.

This panel explores how the different forms of variety in the sector — from origins to consumer preferences — can drive innovation, strengthen resilience, and open new and unexpected opportunities for growth.
