People first. There is simply no credo more important. In order to succeed in business, one must inspire everyone who surrounds him, at every level, to achieve their best. As a dynamic, dedicated entrepreneur and executive leader with vast experience growing profitable businesses, I thrive on working with and mentoring others and have built a performance-driven culture of positivity, integrity, and collaboration committed to continuous improvement initiatives, organic sales optimization, and overall corporate excellence. Fusing intellectual curiosity and high emotional intelligence with lead-by-example motivation, I have empowered cross-functional teams and cultivated countless trusted, long-term distributor and vendor relationships. I am both a creative and critical solutions architect who thinks “outside the box” when it comes to developing solutions, brand awareness and equity, and executing marketing strategies for the latest technology products and services. In my last role as Founder & Director of International Key Supply, I established the company as an industry leader in automotive technology and locksmithing. I have acquired and negotiated vendor and customer contracts; managed and tracked human capital, financial, and information resources; and rejuvenated operations through the implementation of innovative sales processes, maximizing growth and profitability and surpassing all revenue goals. Some additional notable career accomplishments include: • Skyrocketing the company I founded from a part-time e-commerce business to a full-time multichannel B2B & B2C business with a 6,000+ SKU warehouse and a sophisticated website generating $28M+ in annual sales through multiple channels including Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Newegg and more.• Achieving long-term employee retention by garnering trust and performance through unwavering dedication and countless hours of team guidance. • Instilling a culture of operational excellence and accountability by analyzing current business systems and developing and delivering new processes, contributing to 50% increased sales.• Trademarking and building multiple successful brands, including the proprietary eponym for the category, Durashell, and the most well-known brand in the aftermarket key fob space, Keyless2Go; granted product design patent that allowed us to circumvent a competitor’s utility patent.If you would like to connect and share a conversation about how working together might be mutually beneficial, please reach out to me at sean@mcauliffe.cc
