I’m humbled to be able to lead a team that provides a much needed and cost-effective communications platform to help small business owners scale their company vision and make deeper, more meaningful connections with their customers.”

This appointment is just one of the exciting milestones the company has achieved in recent years.

The brand plans to accelerate revenue generation and to evolve experientially as an organization to reduce friction, remove barriers, and accelerate their goals towards new funding and growth.
