Overview

I started Brook Ops to fix supply chain software for teams who were tired of the workarounds. Signed 126 paying customers, 15 of them enterprises. Grew the team to 116 people across 5 countries. Before that: Tech Mahindra and Capgemini. Most at home with operations and enterprise sales. Marathoner (5 so far).
