About
Managing today's innovative technology; distinguished by business knowledge and driven towards sustainability. Since graduating from the University of Washington Bothell Campus in 2024, Sam's career has been rooted in this statement. He has supported EV infrastructure, developed AI/VR/AR implementations at multi-billion dollar companies and start-ups, and even stocked the shelves for The Coca-Cola Company's leading sports drinks BODYARMOR and Powerade as the leading Retail Execution Specialist for the Seattle area.
He is now pivoting toward clean tech, emerging technologies, and global impact to push innovation, drive sustainability, and connect worldwide.
Experience
I’ve worked across clean tech, solar, e-commerce, and consulting, with a strong focus on technical troubleshooting, client onboarding, and workflow optimization. At OpConnect, I supported EV infrastructure by onboarding clients onto Azure-based platforms, streamlining operations, and driving revenue growth. I’m fluent in CRM systems like HubSpot and Salesforce, and I know how to turn complex problems into clear, actionable solutions.
My background in business administration with a focus on technology and innovation helps me connect strategy with execution — especially in mission-driven environments. I’m now pivoting toward roles that blend sustainability, emerging tech, and global impact.
