Reyhan Philip

MSc International Trade, Strategy and Operations graduate from the University of Warwick (May 2026), currently based in London, with hands-on experience across coffee cultivation, sourcing, quality assessment, and commercial operations. As a fourth-generation coffee grower, I have practical exposure from origin to cup, including plantation operations, coffee mill operations, green coffee grading, inventory management, stock movement, and quality control. I also have experience in the sourcing, sales, and marketing of specialty coffee, supported by a foundational understanding of coffee roasting and sensory analysis.

I am seeking entry-level, graduate, or trainee opportunities within the specialty coffee, FMCG, or wider beverage industries in areas such as supply chain, logistics, procurement, buying, trade, commercial operations, or finance. I am equally open to full-time or part-time opportunities where I can continue developing my skills. My goal is to build a long-term career with an organisation where I can grow professionally, contribute meaningfully, and apply my practical beverage knowledge alongside my commercial and international trade background.
