Ferguson served as an executive at the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) for nine years, working as director of marketing and communications and chief of staff. "SCAA was a great training ground for working with a diverse list of coffee companies on a wide variety of consulting projects," said Ferguson. "At Coffee Solutions, no two clients are alike and each has unique needs and circumstances, which is why we refer to our consulting services as customized. Working with all types of members at SCAA prepared me to be ready for anything when you're job is to help coffee companies succeed."

Coffee Solutions President, Rob Stephen, said "Mike's knowledge of the coffee industry is impressive not only for its depth, but also for its breadth. He's very familiar with every aspect of the coffee industry and this returns great strategic value to our clients."
