My ecommerce journey started in supply chain with Jet.com that was acquired by Walmart. I am currently a Founder & Director of Ecommerce.

I've helped ecommerce businesses in multiple categories with product information management, improvement of marketing and revenue ROAS, pricing strategy, work with cross functional teams on supply chain coordination, warehouse logistics, tax accounting, IT and system admins, developers, administrative onboarding to eligible retailers, brand awareness and more. Most small and medium sized ecommerce businesses can't afford a Director of Ecommerce. I work with each SMB to find the most optimal pricing contract structure, so I can assist the respective company in their journey.
