Founder | CEO at Luminous | Changing Software for Ecommerce

Passionate about all things supply chain, e-commerce, and operations. Helping companies transform their operations through better supply chain data. 

A bit about me: I started my first e-commerce company when I was 23. Back then, it was selling baby gates and barn door hardware across a couple Etsy shops and on Amazon. While continuing to grow my e-commerce business on the side I got a job as a sourcing manager at a distribution company to learn more about high level supply chain with major retailers (HSN, QVC, Walmart, etc.). 

Years later, after helping countless DTC brand optimize their supply chain through running Made-in-China's sourcing division, I noticed major issues in the way e-commerce companies used software in operations. I built and sold an RFQ management system that helped DTC brands optimize their purchasing.  Then, I moved on and became a CEO of a DTC brand at 28. My experience running Qualtry showed even more the gap in the market of software solutions in e-commerce that address the entire supply chain.

Luminous is helping e-commerce companies gain visibility in their data from source to sell. If you're not happy with your software (inventory management, purchasing, RFQ, WMS) then talk to me.

AE @ BILL (formerly Divvy) | Utah Sales Meetup

Fell into an SDR role in 2016 and somehow I'm still out here (and loving it)

As an AE at BILL, I help customers streamline their spend and eliminate expense reports. 

I joined BILL in February '24 after working with younger high-growth SaaS companies, snagging a couple P-club trips along the way.

I also run the Utah Sales Meetup group (mouthful - don’t worry I’m working on it), where I help top performers share best practices and insights with other sales folk.

Posting advice, tips, thoughts for SDRs and AEs to sell more and make more.
