Founder, Owner/Operator

Ziel Distribution and WholesaleNov 2012 - May 2023 • 10 yrs 7 mosAs the Founder and Owner/Operator of Ziel Distribution and Wholesale from 2016 to 2023, I was instrumental in establishing and growing a successful business that specializes in product line development, branding, distribution, and retailing. A key accomplishment during this period was the significant market penetration achieved with the GummiBand product line, which is now stocked by over 2,000 retailers in more than 10 countries. This success was built on my ability to conceptualize, source, produce, and effectively market a diverse range of product lines. My responsibilities also encompassed developing and executing a robust business growth strategy, which included diversifying wholesale channels and expanding into online sales. This strategy led to a marked increase in retail revenue. I led all aspects of product development, from domestic and international sourcing and liaising with production factories to packaging design and the development of each brand's unique identity. My effective use of social media and influencer marketing further enhanced brand visibility and sales. During my tenure at Ziel, the brand garnered significant media attention, including features in print magazines and on popular televised gift-guide episodes, increasing its visibility and credibility.
