  Bernie'S Best

  Sep 2020 - Present - Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area

  Key architect in establishing and scaling Bernie’s Best, founded by Jim Finnigan (co-founder of SoFi). As the company’s first employee, I transformed it from a startup into a top-tier e-commerce brand, achieving over $20 million in annual revenue. With expert knowledge of e-commerce platforms, direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales, and operational optimization, I led initiatives that firmly positioned Bernie’s Best on major online marketplaces.
