Business Operations Lead
2013 - 2014
Seed stage startup - joined as employee #5. Was known as the team's 5-tool player. I wore many hats from sales, marketing and business development to finance, merchandising and supply chain/logistics. Our team launched a kickstarter campaign raising $55K which gave us working capital to build out our supply chain for a new product launch that became the core of the business. Alongside the CEO, I helped build our GTM strategy when applying for a license with MLB and personally landed our biggest deal that year with the Texas Rangers. I built strategic partnerships and ran successful marketing campaigns with these partners opening up new distribution channels. Above all else focused on delivering happiness to our enterprise and individual customers.
