Director Of Operations
Appconomy
Austin, Texas + Shanghai, China
I joined shortly after the company was founded and helped to design, build, and grow mobile commerce and location-based marketing solutions for commercial real estate and hospitality, primarily in Shanghai and Beijing, China. I led sales operations, help to onboard new customers in Shanghai and Beijing, worked closely with product, and developed key technology partnerships, including a unique LED 'handshake' solution for offline app-based payments and loyalty programs in environments with challenging network connectivity. My responsibilities evolved to include internal financial operations and substantial corporate development work in support of fundraising, including investor due diligence and working with outside legal counsel.
