With over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience, my passion lies in building businesses, forging meaningful partnerships, and nurturing talent. Initially immersed in the world of technology, I later developed a compelling interest in historic preservation. In the past, the sight of a power tool in my hands earned me a reputation as someone to avoid. However, hands-on experience restoring historic properties from 1790 to 1950 not only developed my comfort with power tools but also honed a refined skill set. Despite this growth, the tendency for people to scatter at the sight of a power tool remains unchanged.The year 2023 marked a significant transition for me. The successful restoration of a mid-century French property in Georgetown, Texas sparked a newfound fascination with mid-century art and design. This revelation prompted me to reclaim the Vera Neumann Brand, previously sold by my mother in 2013. Currently, my primary focus revolves around preserving the essence of the Vera Brand and refining a business strategy that pays homage to Vera's enduring legacy.In my current capacity, I assume responsibility for overseeing the business strategy, marketing initiatives, and product development for Vera Neumann. Simultaneously, my role involves safeguarding and promoting the rich history and heritage associated with the brand. Integrating my cybersecurity expertise with my passion for design and fashion, I am driven to introduce Vera Neumann's vision and values to a new generation of partners and customers.My objective is clear: to uphold Vera Neumann's unwavering commitment to quality, creativity, and accessibility. Through this endeavor, I aspire to inspire others with her remarkable story and distinctive style, ensuring that her influence resonates with contemporary audiences.Previously, I effectively spearheaded and implemented groundbreaking solutions to tackle intricate business challenges. Serving as a partner at OneAuth, Inc., my focus centered on ensuring the well-being of both employees and contractors, empowering them to deliver outstanding service to our valued customers. Before establishing OneAuth, my journey included being the co-founder, president, and CEO of 2FA Inc., a trailblazer in authentication technology. This innovative company seamlessly integrated authentication, password management, and credential management into a unified solution. I successfully nurtured 2FA from its startup phase into a profitable entity boasting over 1,000 customers. Subsequently, I facilitated its acquisition by Spotlight Equity Partners in 2016.
