Freelance Consulting Services for Brands at varying stages, supporting consumer growth from from beta to scale of 50k-1M+
During peak COVID-era, I self-funded and launched an award-winning mobile convenience store -- think of it like a healthy 7-11, but way cuter (and on wheels!). Even better, at least 50% of the brands sold were female or BIPOC-owned businesses. Reporting to the Founder and CEO, I oversaw all day-to-day operations of Markett, such as New Business, Account Management (Sam's Club, Airbnb), Ambassador Recruitment and Retention (>1000), management of overall Business KPIs and P&L and Corporate Branding. 818-***-****
