- Testimonials -Shawn is a CPG sales expert, with current relationships across food, natural and specialty retailers. He established distribution of a new item (that I created the branding for) for a start-up company in CA, across the above channels, in a very competitive category, with a relatively high cost item, with minimal advertising and promotion. Basically, he did the near impossible.
- Thomas MorseCo-Founder and former President of 5 Hour Energy
Shawn is a self starter, an amazing communicator, knows the channels and the dynamics of investment and returns, has experience in buying and contracting support services (brokerage, demo services), and most importantly, he knows how to read people. Shawn knows the risks and opportunities of engaging resources. He is respectful of his teams and they respect him. On top of all this, Shawn has a perpetual smile on his face, which actually is a representation of his confidence, unassuming nature, open mindedness, and seeking solutions mode. If Shawn says he can, then he can!
