I spent the last decade building a B2B business from a kitchen-table idea into global distribution. Five countries, three continents of manufacturing, ten clinical trials, a granted patent in Japan, bootstrapped for five years, raised institutional capital in year six. A few specifics, since they matter more than adjectives. On the product side, I led roadmap and launch for five products across our markets. Retention was 100% in the first three years and has held above 80% long-term. That came from staying close to customers and being willing to kill the things that weren't working. On the operating side, I've owned the P&L, run the planning rhythm, made the calls on what to fund and what to cut, and kept teams across three continents aligned on the same goals. I've raised money. I've negotiated with retailers, manufacturers, and lawyers. I've made a lot of decisions about people, and the hard ones taught me the most. On the commercial side, we sold direct to GNC and The Vitamin Shoppe. Our products are on Costco shelves and on Amazon. We replaced incumbent vendors at seven major accounts because we did the work to understand what those buyers actually needed. Enterprise deal cycles ran three to eighteen months and I owned them end to end. Bootstrapping for five years teaches you something capital can't. You learn how to keep a business alive when nothing is guaranteed. T he most valuable work I've done has been the work nobody asked me to do. Picking the problems that actually mattered and going deep on them. Acting as a force multiplier alongside the people I worked with. Running the projects nobody else had time to own. Quietly taking on the things that needed someone to take them on. That instinct, more than any specific job, is what I bring to a team. What I'm proud of is less the destination than the operating instinct it built. Running a business across three continents on a shoestring will teach you what to ignore, what to fix, and what to never compromise on. [email protected]
