Jeremy is one of the most high quality individuals I have met in my career. He is smart, extremely detail oriented and knows ecommerce like the back of his hand. I have been fortunate to both manage him and have been managed by him. He is a great all around co-worker, both as a capable and effective team member and an excellent leader. On a project we worked on together, he established new revenue streams and led the company cutting cost and double daily revenue. He is personable and a pleasure to work with. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Jeremy in the future.
