Co-Founder, Head of Partnerships @ Volume

About

I spent over a decade in B2B retail sales watching the same problem repeat—brilliant brands, zero infrastructure to scale. So I built the solution. Twice. Volume is the agency—strategy, sell-in, and sell-through for premium CPG brands entering Costco. Dialed is the platform—the operating system I designed and developed to bring clarity to an industry running on spreadsheets, messy inboxes, note pads, and memory. My path: 12+ years in CPG, $100M+ in revenue supported, teams built across sales, marketing, and operations. Food, beverage, beauty, wellness are categories I know deeply. My purpose: helping better-for-you brands reach more people. I sit at the intersection of retail expertise and technical execution—and that's exactly where I'm meant to be.

Founder & Technical Developer

Dialed

2026-1 - Present · 9 mos

Co-founder and Technical Developer of Dialed—a SaaS platform redefining retail operations for CPG brands and brokers in the club channel. Dialed was built out of pure necessity, identifying a critical gap in the market after a decade in retail: brands and brokers were managing multi-million-dollar pipelines with spreadsheets and blind spots. I designed the solution and taught myself to build it. Dialed unifies pipeline management, buyer tracking, order workflows, client collaboration, and real-time analytics into one operating system—purpose-built for club retail. Architected and developed the full platform—frontend, backend, database infrastructure, API integrations, authentication systems, and embedded AI. Enterprise-grade. Multi-tenant. Scalable. Product vision. System design. Technical execution. Go-to-market. Founder-led from zero to launch. The rare combination: deep domain expertise and the technical ability to build what the industry's been missing.
