Guido has an eclectic curriculum vitae: he studied in Leiden, Moscow, London and Chicago. After his studies he did three years of duty at KPN. Soon he realized a corporate career would be to formal, and the tie a too tight fit. As entrepreneur he since then started several companies.  After a business setback, a fire in his 5000m2 factory in Eastern Europe, he decided to organize his live closer to friends and family.

As board member of the Institute of Human Activities,  founded by Flemish Dutch artist Renzo Martens, he noticed that most value chains are colonized by a few large multinationals that use their information and power asymmetry to control the value that is created.  Het decided to dedicate his energy to designing business models that turn the trend of growing inequality.

He founded the FairChain Foundation based on the whole-hearted believe that tomorrow’s economies will be driven by inclusive, regenerative, business models that combine entrepreneurial competitiveness with corporate social responsibility and look beyond shareholders value to create real shared value. 

The FairChain Foundation is working on projects world-wide together with Undp, the German and Dutch Government on global supply chain experiments and developed a blockchain platform based on the believe that technology based on radical transparency can help design value networks in which the value is (re-)distributed to all and support the Sustainable Development Goals in a quantifiable and verifiable way. FairChain moves beyond storytelling to story proving.  

Based on the FairChain principles Guido started Moyee Coffee as an instrument to bring the ideas and experiment of the Foundation to live.

We did not launch Moyee to sell coffee – we created our brand to radically redesign the way coffee is grown, produced and distributed. Our goal has always been to build a micro-economy that delivers more winners than losers; amazing coffee; living incomes to our farmers; independence from development aid; true cost production; and, ultimately, hope and opportunity for all our partners. 

Moyee Coffee has won many prices and is praised for raising the possible.
