Jerry Macnamara is an expert in consulting with businesses online and offline to develop strategic plans that deliver brand penetration and results. From a young age, Jerry has always prided himself on outworking and outhustling his peers. Among his early accomplishments:
- Congressional Youth Scholar Program representing New Jersey
- New York Times Young Citizen of the Year
- 2x State Champion in Soccer (Captain)
- National Leadership Studies Honorary Society at Jepson School of Leadership Studies
Jerry is a “get your hands dirty” type of leader. Leveraging his training in Leadership Studies at UR, he prides himself on authentic leadership: never asking someone to do something he wouldn’t do himself. For the past twenty years, he has build businesses for growth and developed systems for businesses to succeed. Process conceptualization is a strength: He is able to assemble multiple disjointed processes and cobble a streamlined system together to increase efficiency and effectiveness. Professionally, he has:
- Ascended from Retail Customer Service to Vice President of Operations
- Opened 30+ specialty retail stores across the United States including projections, marketing plans and training
- Authored and Implemented a 250+ page Training Manual
- Excels at the Business Planning Process and Training and Developing People as Partners, not as subordinates
- Developed a Store Opening plan that increased the efficiency of opening stores by routinizing the redundant tasks – “How to Open a Store in Ten Easy Steps”
- Spent two years based in Toronto as a Management Consultant to an International Sporting Goods Manufacturer
- Created and sourced a Private Label brand that generated $500K in sales in the first nine months
Over the course of the last seven years, he has taken his offline skill set online and successfully launched a portfolio of websites that have sold millions of dollars online. Always the teacher and coach – with a strong belief in the social compact to leave the world better than you found it, Jerry created JerryMacnamara.com to help other like-minded businesses and individuals create an edge in the marketplace while building an online business – and potentially merging it with their offline business. As he’s learned online, there are no hard-fast answers, but rather perspectives. He hopes that you will join the conversation and share your experience and perspective.
