Cultivate Market Success for Your Supply Chain Business With Proven Expertise

...personalized solutions from someone who has done it, and understands the complex, relationship-driven world of supply chain.

(Not this guy.)

Hi! I'm Kim, Your Industry Insider.

• Closer of millions of dollars in complex supply chain and tech solutions.

• Launcher of new brands and markets worldwide with Maersk for 15 years.

• Commercial leader who took tech startup NYSHEX (New York Shipping Exchange) to market and built a brand achieving multi-million-dollar annual revenue.

Ok, blah, blah. You get it! That's what LinkedIn is for. 

I founded Upward Bound Ventures because I've been burned one too many times by 'Clueless Chet,' the overpriced consultant, marketing agency, or overhyped sales hire you teach the industry to for zero ROI. I believe people in supply chain deserve to work with people who've walked in their shoes and can drive impact.

At Upward Bound Ventures, I've distilled over two decades of victories, facepalms, and eureka moments into a secret sauce for startup and SMB success. I get the nitty-gritty of the supply chain and blend this with a killer instinct for sales and marketing that resonates with real humans, not just boardrooms. Whether it’s bringing a company into the limelight or supercharging growth, consider me your in-house ace for all things innovation and expansion.
