Katie Sims
Head of 5 Sourcing Principles
Tony's Open Chain
While living and working all around the globe – from Latin America to West Africa – Katie has (almost) always worked on trade justice and cooperative business. At Tony’s, she’s responsible for leading and developing high impact programming and data-driven innovation, while guarding the 5 flagship principles of Tony’s Open Chain: 100% traceable beans, strong farmers, long-term partnerships, productivity and paying a higher price. She believes no innovation is too big (or small) to break down barrier after barrier and bring about real and lasting change for farming communities in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire.
