ANKR

Founder, CEO, and lead investor. 

ANKR was a napkin idea turned into a full-fledged IOT app-enabled hardware startup. 

I built the engineering team, set up the manufacturing partner in Asia, and lead the company to market.  I personally signed 2 nationwide retail distribution partnerships. This plan paved the way to me to add major eCommerce and retail partners, Including Walmart, HomeDepot and one hundred e-commerce partners in less than 90-days. 

The company was turned over to a new CEO in late 2015. (then crickets) nothing... sad.

In my initial role post-college, I started as a Sales Representative and, within just over a year, advanced to the position of National Sales Manager. During this period, I played a crucial role in driving the company’s revenue growth from several hundred thousand dollars to over $10 million.

This role required navigating significant challenges, including a comprehensive reorganization and a complete overhaul of sales processes and hiring practices. I was responsible for revamping sales territories, scripting, and operations, and for developing the company’s entire go-to-market (GTM) strategy.

I managed the daily cold calling operations, leading a team that averaged over 4,000 calls per day. In this capacity, I served as a trainer, sales manager, and closer, ensuring high performance and adherence to best practices.

My leadership extended to coordinating the company’s sales and marketing functions, where I developed and executed comprehensive strategies across both areas. I closely monitored and analyzed sales and marketing activities to ensure alignment with goals, making necessary adjustments to drive continuous improvement.

Additionally, I strengthened partner relations with over 100 OEMs, negotiating and managing product agreements, and overseeing the integration of hardware and software solutions. Through these efforts, I ensured that sales and marketing initiatives were aligned with the company’s strategic goals, leading to substantial growth and enhanced operational efficiency.
