BIMO Virtual AdventuresPresident
Sep. 2018 - Sep. 2019Walnut Creek, California, United StatesI took a break from sales in the healthcare industry to work with members of my family on a passion project, BIMO Virtual Adventures, which enabled organizations to offer immersive virtual reality experiences at corporate conferences and events. As the company’s president, I was responsible for all aspects of operating this small business, including marketing (including tradeshow presentations) and sales, hiring staff, and partnership development, as well as importing equipment and freight logistics. I demonstrated our equipment at multiple marketing events, including TwitchCon, IAAPA, and Sac Gamers Expo, and worked with a wide variety of customers, from individual consumers to virtual reality arcades, academic organizations, and corporations. In six months, we grew our revenue from zero to $20,000/month. With BIMO, I embraced the experience of transforming an idea into a functioning enterprise — a journey that was filled with challenges, successes, and invaluable lessons. When I returned to the world of sales in the healthcare industry, I took with me the lessons I learned from this venture, and which I still carry with me today: Approach every challenge with adaptability, every team interaction with respect, and every client with a commitment to our mutual success.
