About Kevin Williams

I currently own and operate Cohesive Coffee, a specialty coffee shop in Greenville, South Carolina, where I’m responsible for both day-to-day operations and long-term direction. I work daily with my team to ensure the business runs well operationally while maintaining a consistently high-quality customer experience- something we take real pride in.Prior to owning Cohesive, I gained analytical and operational experience working on Capitol Hill and in budget management at a defense-focused advocacy firm. I’ve also worked directly in service and production roles, including as a server assistant and a coffee roaster- experiences that grounded my interest in specialty coffee and customer service. These experiences have continued to inform how I approach both administrative and customer-facing operations today.I attended Riverside Military Academy, where I developed much of the discipline and structure that guide my approach to work today. While studying at Furman University, I became deeply involved in planning and executing philanthropic initiatives- an interest I continue to pursue through community engagement and local partnerships.I’m focused on building a durable business at Cohesive- one that supports our team, serves its customers exceptional experiences and coffee, and continually gives back to our community.
