Scott Ford, CEO and Co-founder of Westrock Coffee

This week we speak with Scott Ford, CEO and Co-founder of
Westrock Coffee.


Westrock entered into a $1.1 billion combination agreement with
Riverview Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: RVAC) in April of 2022, and
has grown into the #1 wholesale provider of coffee and tea to US
restaurants.  Westrock is now looking to use its SPAC deal
to make a big move into cold brew, made in the United States.


Scott explains how the company has worked to insulate itself from
supply chain and commodity disruptions and why a SPAC deal was
preferable to an IPO or more trips to the private equity watering
hole.
