The En Factor Podcast features conversations with entrepreneurs who have started, stumbled and succeeded.
This newest episode of the En Factor features entrepreneur Jason Brown, who is the founder and CEO of Deliveri. Jason’s entrepreneurial passion was sparked when he returned to school to earn his MBA after spending working in telecommunications for over a decade and led him to beginning his venture, Deliveri. Jason and Deliveri are working to become the first choice for finding a logistics tech stack for the next generation of consumer brands in the United States and Latin America looking to ship their products internationally. With now over 30 million small businesses in the United States alone, Deliveri focuses on servicing smaller, earlier stage businesses who don’t have access or leverage to key logistics resources such as lower shipping costs like a larger, more developed company would.
Join us for this amazing episode where Jason and Dr. Rebecca White discuss the changing landscape of logistics and shipping internationally, Jason’s transition from corporate to entrepreneurship, the importance of using the shipping and transportation experience as a brand building experience, and much more!
