In 2020 we pivoted into PPE manufacturing to prevent plant closure, generated substantial demand with first responders/hospitals and through innovative deal making developed a five company production partner network saving 250 jobs in Rhode Island. By navigating new sales channels and networks we created critical revenue while "normal" business activity ceased, producing the highest trailing twelve month revenues in company history. In 2021 we rebuilt our wholesale core business, circumvented supply chain challenges, doubled our core business and again delivered the largest ever revenue/profitability year at G-Form. In 2022 we stood up a new offshore manufacturing facility in China and are adding an additional Americas based production partner in Q1-23 to minimize lead times and avoid air freight costs. Capitalizing on revenue opportunities with our domestic production for major retail partners, which were unable to receive critical deliveries from powerful global brands, was a huge win for G-Form. Currently we are tracking at 40% YOY growth sparked by core business increases along with our entry into new verticals – industrial, electronics, military and tactical. We have been awarded $6.5M by the government for R&D towards developing helmet liner systems as well as elbow and knee protective solutions for the Army and Marine Corps – a signal that we have the most effective technology solutions to protect those who protect us. By retrofitting our manufacturing operations we have created marked savings and considerably shortened lead times in pre and post production processes. We continue to evolve our supply chain operations resulting in exceptional new partnerships with tier one suppliers which have reduced lead times, improved speed to market and dramatically improved margins. In 2023 we will be introducing a remarkable, innovative technology solution which will create enhanced desirability for the G-Form brand and our strategic partners Show less

Senior Vice President Of Sales

With the merger of Fanatics and Majestic came horrendous operational and shipping issues. The retail community was troubled with the new Fanatics. My challenge starting day one was to stabilize retailer relationships - Dick's, Modell's, Hibbett, Scheels, Academy, Lids, Walmart, JC Penney, Target, and Kohl's. Through leveraging personal relationships and defining how the operational turnaround would be executed, that task was accomplished. The secondary mission was to create a winning culture beginning with creating clarity in ownership which led to accountability. In Q1 2019, my second quarter with the company, we hit our revenue target for the first time in eighteen months • P&L ownership for 1B wholesale business • Wholesale business break down - Vcomm 350M, Traditional brick and mortar 700M • Developed GTM/launch strategy for 250M Nike brand in 2019 • Turbo-charged sales team by recruiting amazing talent and reorganizing through creation of channel, strategic account and major account management • Developed holistic selling and replenishment strategies via collaboration with merchandising, supply chain, demand planning and production to create a four-quarter offense, delivering continuous freshness and desirability to drive brand productivity Show less
