At Goodfair I stepped in to be their Head of Product & Engineering right before they hit a major inflection point. I joined as one of the first 4 employees and did everything from Tiktok strategy (grew to 100M views and 400k followers), performance ads, instilling proper Product & Engineering processes and hygiene, built bespoke Shopify apps for our unique needs, integrated PeopleVox inventory management into the warehouse and fulfillment operations, ran IT for warehouse and office locations in Houston TX, etc. A little bit of everything. https://marketingpartnerships.com/lastcall/2021/02/01/nordstrom-taps-into-secondhand-retail-surge-with-goodfair-partnership/ https://www.treehugger.com/goodfair-shows-how-thrift-shopping-can-go-online-5077054
