After a strategic merger/acquisition of RepairQ, I was retained by ServiceCentral as a managing shareholder and executive leader over business development, driving sales, marketing, and product strategy for our SAAS products. During my time at ServiceCentral, we expanded our customer-base substantially, including several nationally recognized retail brands, as well as broadening our services to connect a number of Fortune 500 brands with thousands of independent repair centers to support their growing consumer product returns and repair demand. I helped to develop strategic partnerships and investments, eventually leading to an acquisition by a private software holdings company in 2022.

As an initial strategic partner to local tech startup, Brickwire, I had the distinct privilege to invest in, brand, and help lead the commercial launch of RepairQ.io, a point of sale and service software. During my time as CEO, we rapidly expanded our customer-centric SAAS model, uniquely tailoring features for retail repair appealing to local SMBs and franchises. Notably, we grew a loyal customer-base by 40%+ YOY, supporting over 2,000+ locations, internationally, as well as creating a unique connected service between independent repair centers and insurance companies and manufacturers seeking 3rd party fulfillment. In 2017, I led negotiations for second-round investment, closing a strategic acquisition deal with industry veteran, ServiceCentral Technologies. I retained interest as a managing shareholder and a C-level executive position over business and product development.
