I managed day to day operations of our national distribution channel, regional retailers, key vertical markets (K-12 & Healthcare), and authorized resellers (over 750), generating $15mm+ annually.

• 2018 – Revenue: $11.8mm – Development of new market specific products (Wired keyboard and Rugged case for Education / Healthcare verticals) have been a key factor in driving growth this year, while steadily gaining share in our other key categories. Incremental mophie placement with new customers (Apple Premium Retailers), as well as increased placement within the Bookstore channel.
