Mar 2021 - Feb 2026 • 4 yrs 11 mos

Founder and CEO of RMT (Logistics Company) - exited in 2026 after sale to Hribar Logistics (est 1949) in 2026. I’m an entrepreneur and startup consultant who has helped businesses including Sauz, Ritmo, Simply Trees, and others get off the ground. My experience building and operating businesses has sharpened my ability to spot opportunities, solve operational challenges, build strategic relationships, and turn ideas into practical plans. With a background spanning logistics, business development, branding, and fundraising, I understand the decisions and resource constraints founders face. I bring that perspective to helping entrepreneurs refine their positioning, connect with the right partners, and build a strong foundation for growth.
