Russell Cann

I've generated approximately $500,000 in annual international B2B emerald sales at Empire Emeralds, managing the full process from lead generation and cold calling through negotiation and account management.

I built and maintained around 30 jewelry-store and distributor accounts across the United States, Europe, and Latin America. I also secured a key New York supplier relationship and increased purchasing volume approximately 10× over two years.

As co-founder of On The Road Café, I opened and operated three specialty coffee shops alongside an ecommerce business, overseeing supply chain, B2B relationships, sales, marketing, and a team of three employees. During COVID-19, I pivoted the business from physical cafés to ecommerce, driving roughly five orders per day.

I've also built real estate businesses in Colombia and Georgia, handling lead generation, client viewings, negotiations, contracts, leasing, redevelopment, and closing for local and international clients.
