SCARPERIA, Florence, Italy – La Marzocco’s managing partner, Joe Monaghan, bade farewell at La Marzocco USA’s annual BBQ in Seattle this month. Joe’s insightful strategic contributions, over four decades, demonstrated his passion for La Marzocco and the field of espresso coffee. His role was key in the growth of machine sales and quality coffee throughout North America and internationally.
Moreover, Monaghan established La Marzocco USA exactly 10 years ago, where he inspired innovative contributions in the areas of sales, marketing and aftersales.
Monaghan was behind the inimitable idea to build the La Marzocco Café in close collaboration with KEXP in Seattle, which has been beneficial to the La Marzocco brand, culture and heritage. In addition to bringing the company’s soul to the heart of the specialty coffee scene in the U.S., the café has contributed to educating consumers on quality coffee.
The La Marzocco International Board, management and staff wish Joe the very best and every success for all that lies ahead.
