Luke Waite is the owner of two companies, The Lev Co and Pomelo Coffee Consulting.

During his 7+ years working for coffee roasters, he discovered the need for better operational structure. Additionally, he saw a lack of creative agencies with deep understanding of the branding needs of coffee exporters, importers, and NGO's. These gaps in the industry led to the genesis of Pomelo serving the consuming side of the industry, while The Lev Co serves producers and importers.

His mission is to make coffee roasters more profitable so they can make a meaningful impact on the world.
