About
I started my career as a business analyst at Target before spending five years at Harry’s, where I helped launch their Target business and expand into specialty retail with partners like Nordstrom, Soho House, and The Standard Hotel. During the pandemic I founded, scaled, and exited a health-tech company, while consulting for brands including Vacation and Judy. In 2024 I launched Middlebox to help high-growth beauty, wellness, and home goods brands break into U.S. specialty retail — bringing a blend of operator instincts and retail expertise to every engagement. I can help with: - Retail introductions for consumer brands - Retail operations and infrastructure - Retail strategy & org planning - Building a strong inbound pipeline Book some time and I’ll share as much as I can in 30 minutes.
