He was born in a small town in Colombia, with a population of just 150,500 people. A very conservative and traditional Latin culture. When he was four years old, the family moved to San Francisco. Perhaps one of the most liberal places in the world. It was the 90s, and it was a high-energy environment where things were moving fast. Then again, when his father chose to retire, they moved back to small-town Colombia, where he finished school. However, in his last year of studying for a major in economics, his father and his friends decided that they wanted to do something to support local Colombian coffee growers. There was a new wave of excitement about specialty coffee in the US. His father thought they could maybe set up a foundation and get donations to preserve the industry and farms. Diego saw the huge value being created and wanted to build a bridge to the commercial space with a real company. He started a vertically integrated coffee producer, which purchased coffee beans from small farmers, roasted them, packaged them, and then shipped them off to supermarkets in the US. They built up the business, and then, they were hit by bad weather. Coffee crops went into decline, and it hammered their business.
