Our Team

Founder and CEO, spent the last decade as an eCommerce entrepreneur. Jacob and wife founded SophiasStyle.com, a children’s boutique, with no start-up capital out of a closet in their house and turned it into a multi-million dollar company within 24 months.

They faced numerous challenges including the fragmented eCommerce environment, costly delays due to software integrations, inventory management and lack of time and capital. Over the years Jacob teamed up with some of the brightest minds in the industry to develop effective business platforms to solve these issues. The idea of Ecomitize grew out of these experiences.

Why not find a way to utilize the lessons learned to create high-end eCommerce websites so that other businesses can avoid the painful learning curve?
