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.

If you're excited by the challenge of building a new age backend system then think about applying!

This is a bit more of a technical role that requires experience in systems (ERPs, General Ledgers, IMS, etc.).

Most people don't see subscriptions the way I do.

For many of the brands I come into contact with, subscriptions are about retention. Figuring out how to keep people longer to drive up lifetime value (LTV).

But subscriptions are much more than LTV and recurring revenue. They are a way to engage with your best customers, provide more value, and capture more value in return. When looked at through an acquisition lens, subscriptions become less about retention and more about customer experience.

That's what we do at Subscription Prescription - craft acquisition and retention experiences to unlock greater profitability and sustainability for your business.

Message me to learn more about how we can improve acquisition of subscribers, retention of subscriber, and the profitability of subscribers with our approach. Unlock new growth for your business with the right prescription for your subscriptions.
