List your current position and/or career

I am the Co-Founder & CEO at SkuVault. I am an entrepreneur with a passion for eCommerce and process improvement, ten years into my most recent scaleup, SkuVault. I grew up in Louisville, KY and started selling products online in middle school. In high school, I helped start an eCommerce fashion business that is still growing and successful to this day. I attended University of Louisville for Industrial Engineering and started a consulting and custom software development firm, focusing on inventory management for manufacturing companies. The next step was combining the passion for process improvement with inventory and warehouse operations into the eCommerce realm with SkuVault. SkuVault is an inventory & warehouse management system that integrates with ChannelAdvisor, ShipWorks, Amazon, Bigcommerce, ShipStation, eBay, Shopify, and more, and is complete with barcoding and jam packed with other cool features to help eCommerce retailers prevent out of stocks, improve warehouse efficiency, and reduce human error. SkuVault helps businesses achieve a higher level of performance and efficiency, and as a result, grow faster while creating a lasting working relationship. We feel the old school business ideals of shaking hands and working together in person cannot be replaced by webinars, emails, and phone calls, and as such, we strive to create more than just an inventory and warehouse solution but a support network - a partnership, working together towards improving your bottom line. www.skuvault.com

A quote about your time at DeSales - or how DeSales has benefited your life/career

DeSales is an amazing community. The support and encouragement students receive, from the teachers and staff, makes a huge impact on how those students go out into the world. It gave a great example of how an organization can be people-centric and thrive. I have carried this through into my career and try to always have a people-first attitude. It all comes down to the team and DeSales was exceptional at creating that community and mindset.
