@athanasiosvamparis
I build U.S. D2C and e-commerce growth engines for international brands.
What I'm looking for
I've built Shinykings Inc.'s U.S. go-to-market strategy from zero for a German-origin nanotechnology coatings brand, scaling to seven-figure annual revenue across three brands and 20 SKUs. I own market strategy, product development, supply chain, digital marketing, commercial strategy, and P&L.
I grew revenue 300% over three years through Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, and wholesale, while personally managing KPI-driven acquisition through Amazon Ads, Google Ads, and Meta Ads. I've also built teams of up to eight, local vendor and agency partnerships, and an AI-driven creative pipeline.
I've founded and led businesses across Germany and the U.S., from e-commerce and coatings to OEM sourcing and early electric-vehicle development. I also founded Nanoxperts, a B2B education and certification platform for surface-protection professionals.
