Sean Coleman has been the right person at the right time for our rapidly-growing startup. He began with Knack at the height of our holiday frenzy — in fact, the Monday morning that he first walked into our fulfillment facility we had suddenly accumulated over 26,000 orders in our backlog. He calmly stepped on to the floor and did whatever needed to be done, from boxing orders to generating shipping labels, while mentally planning what we should do after the holiday rush was over. Within 18 months he helped the company implement a new Inventory Management System, implement our first Warehouse Management System, double our own fulfillment operations, and spin up not one, but two 3PL distribution partners. Sean makes every decision as if he owns the company, and is the ultimate team player.

Sean and I were members of the Executive Team at Classic Accessories and worked very closely together. I had the pleasure of working with Sean for over 10 years and he was a huge advocate of the sales team supporting our growth. Sean always offered innovative and profitable solutions to support the sales team. As a leader, Sean had a growth mindset and he shared this this with his team and the company through mentoring and continued learning. Sean embraces challenges head on and will be a great strategic leader to assist any company looking for transformative changes and new ideas.
