Bernadette
Bastorous

Bernadette Bastorous is more than a leader — she’s a visionary whose determination and purpose have shaped one of the fastest-growing coffee brands in the United States. Her journey began in the real estate world, but her entrepreneurial spirit soon led her to pursue something bigger: creating a space where quality, culture, and connection could come together over a cup of coffee.

As the Co-Founder and former Vice President of Product and Vendor Management, Bernadette helped define Qargo Coffee’s identity from the ground up — curating its product philosophy, building strong supplier relationships, and ensuring every detail reflected the brand’s values. Today, as President, she continues to steer Qargo Coffee with the same passion and precision, transforming it into a symbol of innovation and inclusivity in the coffee industry.

Her leadership represents a balance between heart and strategy — inspiring a culture where excellence, authenticity, and empowerment are at the core of every decision.
