5 years running a successful e-market business on Amazon North America with exit in November 2021. The business operated around two strategies: 1) Retail Arbitrage and, 2) Fulfilled by Amazon. This approach created a diversified and strong lifestyle business. I also recruited, trained and retained two full-time staff members who stayed to the very end.
