Bio
Brian Kielian
Ed is a true self-starter and forward thinker. He is well versed in the card processing and financial industry and brought that knowledge to PayPal. During his time there, he demonstrated the ability to deliver value to clients, as well as add measurable dollars to the bottom line. He proved himself to be a true asset to the team. As well, he is a gifted public speaker and presents well to any level of an organization, with the ability to be both professional and approachable. I was impressed by his initiative and ‘out of the box’ thinking, at the risk of using that cliché. Ed is a true asset to an organization looking for a seasoned yet progressive leader.

Founder and President
-
1999 - 2005
I founded this company in my early entrepreneurship days concentrating on one thing: provide the customer with unique, one of a kind, value add in a business that was highly competitive and one that offered small margins for profit. Armed only with a business degree and a desire to own and operate my own business, I took a plunge in unknown territory. In the process of operating the business for 5 years, I learned about budgeting, marketing, online presence, customer retention, government regulations, business taxes, employee retention and hiring, training, the textile industry, textile printing industry, overseas production facilities and import business, as well as local market competitive practices. After successfully operating the business over five years, I sold the business for a handsome profit. Show less
