In 2012 I founded the Inkkas company (www.inkkas.com) and successfully scaled the company from zero into a multi-million dollar brand and then sold the company in 2016 to celebrity investor Marcus Lemonis.

Some of the major challenges included branding, go-to-market strategy, fulfillment, sourcing, web design & development, customer acquisition, paid advertising, conversion rate optimization and more. Along with my founding team, we were able to overcome every obstacle and devise a customer acquisition strategy the led to success.
