65 | Timen Swijtink, Lacàph and Building a Coffee Brand in Vietnam
Manage episode 379936815 series 3321537
Timen is the founder at Lacàph, a fast-growing Vietnamese coffee brand, that is starting to export into new markets in Asia Pacific and around the world. Besides this he is a board member in companies in residential real estate development and software SaaS solutions. He has been in Vietnam since 2007, but is a proud Dutch person that happens to have lived in the USA and Vietnam longer than any period of time in Holland.
In this conversation, we cover the coffee scene in Vietnam, building a brand, and his story and journey of Lacaph.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Timen Swijtink.
