Vaquero Coffee Company, LLC began as a Retail & Wholesale coffee startup which took 18 months to become operational. The entire branding process and business initiatives were created, built, and deployed by myself in its entirety including website, hiring, training, and marketing as well as operations. We are currently Fort Worth's highest rated coffee shop across all review platforms and as of January 2020 have over 59% year-over-year growth. We have survived the duration of Covid-19 without having to utilize PPP or any other SBA sponsored loans- and as someone coming from a finance background myself, I feel this is one of the ultimate litmus tests for small businesses (especially in Food & Beverage) and its financial leadership.Strengths: Project management, marketing, team management, Excel, Quickbooks, leadership, communicationWeaknesses: Lack of capital, no prior industry knowledge, footprint Opportunities: Amazon Prime, franchising, divest/sell for gainThreats: Market saturation, continued force majeure/government shutdown/riots

The proprietary game designs and customer service were what lead us to the top online ratings (compared to local competitors) along with a strategic marketing campaign via Groupon. Growth and scalability were always the main concern, and manifested itself as a secondary company called Boardroom Breakout - a mobile, large scale corporate team building escape event that is capable of serving up to 900 people simultaneously. We were and they continue to be DFW's highest rated Escape Game (from 2016 to current).Strengths: Communication, project management, critical thinking, adaptive Weaknesses: Trend focused business, minority ownership stake Opportunities: Franchising, national event business managementThreats: Market saturation, lack if income diversification

Beginning as a generic retail phone customer service representative, I was molded into an advanced, customer service specialist handling retail clients in the High Net Worth demographic of assets over $1M. Advanced, in-house trading and customer service classes within Fidelity helped progress my service each year over the phone, until 2011 when I was given the opportunity to relocate to Seattle, WA and work in a local investor center. The investor center in downtown Seattle is where I honed my customer service skills and became dedicated support to complex estate and tax questions as well as proprietary operations and trading software. The end result was a professionally polished subject matter expert of all things “Retail Investment” with Fidelity Investments.My transition from service representative to Help Desk was huge. It meant I was a proven subject matter expert on advanced trading (options/derivatives, bonds, stocks), in-house policy and procedure, as well as coaching mentor and team development. This role was with individual customers at or above $5,000,000 in assets with Fidelity Investments. After my time on Help Desk, I was given an opportunity to transition to become a Retail Facilitator for Beginning & Advanced Trading courses such as the Series 7 exam,mutual fund trading, up to options/derivative trading. I worked closely with the National L&D employees to develop supplemental course material as well lesson plans, training aids, and team building exercises for advanced learning objectives and systems. Beyond my capacity to teach was a different side of Fidelity I had not experienced and chose to transition to after a time in Facilitation, which was Institutional Wealth Services. Here, I became a service advisor to third-party companies whom used Fidelity Investments as their CRM and Trading Platform, as well as legal and policy & procedure.
