Jose G. Ruiz Email and Phone Number

I graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in Business Marketing. My entrepreneurial journey began in high school with a small crystal business that I successfully managed throughout my university years. While still in university, I honed my technical skills as a freelancer, creating e-commerce websites on platforms like WordPress and Shopify.During my studies, I also gained valuable experience working as a surveyor at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where I collected vaccination records. Upon graduation, I joined Cleverbridge, providing customer support for software installation, purchases, and refunds.Driven by a passion for entrepreneurship, I ventured into the online retail space by launching a female fashion boutique, leveraging Instagram for marketing. Over time, I expanded my portfolio by creating and managing multiple online businesses, including a male jewelry shop, a kids' toy store, a candle shop, and a home decor store. Eventually, I streamlined my focus by selling these ventures and retaining my successful female fashion boutique.Building on my e-commerce expertise, I later founded a skincare brand, which I currently manage alongside my fashion boutique. With 8 years of social media marketing and e-commerce experience, I have a proven track record of building and scaling successful online businesses.I am now prepared to transition into corporate America to engage with like-minded professionals and expand my network, as the experience of being a business owner can sometimes be isolating.
