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.). 

DM me or anyone on our team.

I help companies grow, and finding power in partnerships is my jam, I firmly believe we do/win more together, and I get a kick out of growing companies through strategic partnerships, customs solutions, and leading technologies. Much of my professional success has been in payments, healthcare, Ecommerce, and SaaS, but my varied experiences also prove that tried and true processes can generate incredible success across multiple industries. 

 “Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together.” – James Cash Penney

Payments is the lifeblood for most businesses today! I love partnering with businesses to implement payment processing strategies that increase bottom line revenue, improve efficiencies/eliminate waste, assist growth goals, and provide next level customer support.  
B2B, Ecommerce, SaaS, Retail ... I got you!

"Profit is the payment you get when you take advantage of change." Joseph Schumpeter
_____

Healthcare is a behemoth & growing every year.  Dominated by legacy systems and a few organizations clinging to their old way of doing business, it is still largely siloed, inefficient...and ultimately costly.  The tides are changing but it takes time...and courage.  Thankfully there are still tremendous healthcare providers, brilliant minds creating new technologies, and a patient population that is tired of high prices and limited accountability.  Preventative > sick care, Patient > profit, Innovation > status quo.  

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." A. Einstein
______

Technology is changing the world in ways that are unimaginable, until they happen.  And these changes are happening faster than ever before.  Advancements boosted by the emergence of AI will create new technologies in our lifetime that are unimaginable today.  We need to be vigilant with new innovation and the resulting power shifts, to make sure that the changes are for the better.  

“If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.” – Omar N. Bradley
