Dutch Bros Coffee has appointed Joth Ricci president. Working alongside CEO and cofounder Travis Boersma, Ricci will leverage his beverage expertise to ensure Dutch Bros is well-positioned to achieve its expansion plans, including growing to 800 locations over the next five years.

“I’ve gotten to know Joth over the years, and he is a natural complement to our team,” said Boersma. “His proven abilities in strategic planning will be invaluable as we fine-tune our systems, standards and processes for our expansion goals. We’re thrilled to welcome him into the Dutch Bros family.”

Additionally, Ricci is a director at Brew Dr. Kombucha and Ninkasi Brewing.

Ricci, who began serving as president on Jan. 7, is focused on guiding day-to-day activities and working directly with the board, TSG and management, while Boersma oversees Dutch Bros’ big picture strategy.
