Summary

I am an avid mountain biker: relatively old and moderately slow but passionate about spending time on the saddle with lots of scars and bumps that showcase passion exceeding talent. I love technical outerwear and have worked in the apparel business most of my career. Connecting with people by sharing my passion and enthusiasm has been foundational to my success and the opportunity to work with an up-and-coming brand such as 7Mesh has spurred my interest in learning more about this role. I naturally build partnerships based on aligned goals by understanding partners’ needs and motivations. Scaling up in new and existing markets, managing teams, and achieving targets have been constants throughout my career and I believe I can bring these traits to the 7Mesh team.
