I’ve spent 20 years in digital marketing both as an entrepreneur and investor. I co-founded Canvas on Demand in 2003 and took it from a startup to the INC 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ list of fastest-growing companies in America. This earned me a spot as a finalist in the Ernst and Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year Awards 🏆. In September of 2010, we sold our company to online custom products leader CafePress. While there, I continued on the executive leadership team as its Chief Marketing Officer until 2013.

It was then that I had my 💔 by the realities of modern slavery and left my director position to do something audacious for humanity–working to end slavery, leading me to found Freedom United.
