As the visionary behind iPourIt's revolutionary self-serve beer and premium wine on tap systems, I spearheaded the conception and development of an innovative solution aimed at empowering consumers to enjoy beverages at their convenience while adhering to a structured payment model. From the genesis of a daring concept, I navigated the company's evolution from a solitary endeavor, personally assembling circuitry in a garage, to a thriving enterprise boasting a team of over 20 dedicated professionals and servicing a vast clientele exceeding 800 establishments.My leadership has been instrumental in securing substantial financing through four rounds of funding, with noteworthy oversubscription evident in two of these rounds. Guiding a multifaceted team comprising developers, project managers, installers, and technical support personnel, I fostered an environment conducive to operational excellence and client satisfaction. This collective effort has resulted in the acquisition of three issued patents, affirming the uniqueness and inventiveness of our offerings.To date, iPourIt has facilitated the dispensing of nearly half a billion ounces of beverages, engaging over 14 million distinct users and generating in excess of $100 million in revenue for our esteemed clientele. Under my stewardship, I have meticulously orchestrated the development and execution of a comprehensive Technology Roadmap, positioning iPourIt as the undisputed leader within the self-pour industry.

As a founder of iPourIt, I also served in the role as Secretary for the Board of Directors.
