About Scott Braaten

I am a builder at heart, driven by the challenge of scaling complex operations from the ground up. With nearly a decade of leadership at Amazon and over 15 years in Operational roles, I specialized in launching and optimizing high-impact programs- from integrating Whole Foods Market into Prime delivery to leading rural supply chain initiatives.Today, I am channeling that operational expertise into my role as Co-Owner and Business Director of Second Love Coffee Roasters. My focus is on blending the art of specialty coffee with the precision of a world-class supply chain to create a brand that resonates with our community in South Seattle.Beyond the business, I am passionate about leadership development and community empowerment. Whether I’m serving on the Board of the Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce or volunteering with the 501st Legion, I believe in using my platform to support emerging leaders and give back.I’m always open to connecting with fellow entrepreneurs, supply chain enthusiasts, or anyone passionate about a great cup of coffee.
