I can't write these many words about myself so AI says - As a performance-driven Entrepreneur, I have a proven track record of turning creative ideas into successful businesses. Over the course of my career, I have founded 3 profitable food companies and 8 companies total, creating the go-to-market and revenue model while outlining the long-term sustainable growth. My achievements include growing business from $0 to over $40M, company being ranked #3 on Inc 5000 fastest growing companies, several patents, Technology Entrepreneur of the Year by Austin Under 40 and multiple appearances on radio shows and publications including the Wall Street and New York Times. While creating successful businesses I always keep Sustainability at the core of what I do - creating products and company that help people live healthier and fuller lives while also helping the environment. Organic agriculture, environmental awareness, supporting biodiversity, water conservation, and environmental toxins and plastics reduction are all part of my work. In 2007, I drafted a legislation that passed to create the Organic Advisor Board to the Texas Department of Agriculture and in 2008, I formed the Organic Association of Texas. I received recognition and appreciation for my efforts and was awarded the “Eco Leader of the Year” by the Austin Business Journal in 2010. Now, through Small Potatoes, I'm helping build CPG companies by consolidating operations & providing shared services models to small companies that can't afford executive management.
