Janie Page has been named chief marketing officer for The Human Bean, the company said Tuesday.

Page is also somewhat of a coffee expert as a Certified Q Grader of Arabic coffee, which is an advanced-level course with more than 22 tests.

“With her consumer-focused approach, marketing expertise and passion for coffee, Janie was a natural addition to The Human Bean leadership team,” said Dan Hawkins, co-founder and CEO. “We are excited and honored to have Janie join The Human Bean family and drive our marketing efforts as we continue to grow across the U.S.”

The Human Bean has roughly 130 units.
