Meet Our Founder: Charles Lee

With over 23 years of experience in the United States, Charles Lee has built his career on adaptability, vision, and purpose. His journey began in warehouse operations, where he mastered the logistics of pick, pack, and ship — the core of any successful product-driven business. This hands-on experience gave him a deep understanding of how efficiency, teamwork, and systems come together to deliver results.

As the eCommerce landscape began to evolve, Charles transitioned into sales and marketing, becoming an early mover in driving growth on platforms such as eBay, Amazon, Walmart, and Shopify. His strategic mindset and commitment to innovation helped businesses expand their reach and connect with customers in meaningful ways.

Over the years, Charles’ expertise grew to encompass technology, ERP systems (Oracle NetSuite), and artificial intelligence, combining operational insight with digital transformation. Beyond technical skill, what truly defines him is his ability to build and lead winning teams — uniting people around shared goals and empowering them to achieve more together.

Reflecting on his career, Charles often relates to Steve Jobs’ philosophy of “connecting the dots.” Each chapter of his journey — from logistics to leadership — has contributed to a broader mission: to create value, drive growth, and make a lasting impact.

His leadership embodies a balance of innovation, collaboration, and impact, ensuring every endeavor contributes not only to business success but also to community growth.

For Charles, building brands isn’t just about business — it’s about building people, possibilities, and a better future.
