With nearly 30 years of experience in the world of retail, Fernandez has spent time as a buyer for Amazon.com and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., two of the largest retailers in the world, which helps him guide his consumer goods clients from the product development stage to getting items on the shelves, virtual or otherwise.

Together, we have more than $1 billion in sales in consumer goods and health and wellness products.”
