    Lunii is a toy start-up, that created “My Fabulous Storyteller”, an interactive storyteller for children.I moved to the US to develop Luniis presence in North America. At the time, in February 2020, the brand had little brand awareness as it had just recently launched. I started in a team of 2 people right when the global pandemic started, which required strong adaptability and problem-solving skills, and a lot of resilience. During these 3.5 years at Lunii, I led business acquisitions, opened and managed over 40 key accounts, developed co-op plans, created go-to-market strategies, built budget and sales forecasts, and was involved in all the aspects of growing a brand in 2 new markets. This included developing a new customer service strategy resulting in higher customer satisfaction cutting costs by 50% and switching to a new 3PL in 2023.I doubled sales in the US and multiplied by 10 in Canada.
