As a co-founder of a self-funded family business, I’ve spent the last 16 yrs building a travel bag and accessories lifestyle brand with over $100 million in lifetime sales, and featured in high profile media outlets such as Fast Company, Bloomberg, The Today Show, Vogue, Travel + Leisure, and Conde Nast Traveler.

Over the course of my career, I've managed and led everything from integrated marketing to product strategy to financial budgeting/planning —giving me a comprehensive and hands-on view of how consumer products are created, marketed, and sold.
