    The Challenge

    Marketplace stuck on the supply side. Needed to scale enterprise contract manufacturer acquisition fast enough to attract enterprise demand—Unilever, Nestlé, Coca-Cola won't show up without inventory.

    The Approach

    Joined as W2 Head of Growth via Miliki & Co. Built the entire supply-side acquisition engine from scratch, focusing on systematic enterprise supplier acquisition rather than one-off BD.
