Great things in business are never done by one person.


Paul Alexander, Planner

Paul is a Logistics Coordinator, which is really just a professional way of saying "the glue that holds this gosh-darn place together." Because let's face it. Were it not for this young music-loving, nice-jacket-wearing go-getter's shipping skills, Commerce Canal would be little more than a high-rent storage locker full of cardboard boxes.

Raymond Burke, Planner

His world-class inventory analysis isn't the only thing for which Raymond is proud. In addition to analyzing inventory, one of Commerce Canal's newest additions also enjoys a PC he purchased online — an acquisition he describes as one of his all-time favorites. Of note, if given his choice of superpower, he'd pick invisibility. Classic Raymond.


Ryan Craver, Founder & CEO

As head product-slinger and company founder, Ryan oversees the daily, day-to-day operations of Commerce Canal, literally every day. In addition to his Foundering and CEO-ing, Ryan runs a team of 30 eCommerce experts. Speaking of running, Ryan ran a lot of track in his hometown of Kauai and was once dubbed "Ryan the Flyin Hawaiian." So there's that.

Chiyoung Han, Brand Manager

South Korean native Chiyoung, also called Charles, was recently hired to focus his brand management skills on managing brands at Commerce Canal. This gaming chair enthusiast and would-be mind reader spends his days working the system to generate growth and revenue for his clients because let's face it — that's what brand managers do.


Alyssa Holley, Planner

Alyssa is a caffeine addict from Colorado (see Keith Sterling) who has recently joined Commerce Canal as a Digital Advisor. By definition, she is a person who advises people on digital things. To be honest, we were pretty sure there's an app that'll do this, but Alyssa is very convincing in an interview, so here we are. She describes her worst job ever as her time at Hollister, which, if you're reading this Hollister, is because it was too incredible and amazing, and no one wants to get sued.

Sara Howard, Brand Manager

An eCommerce expert from Texas, Sara joined Commerce Canal in 2020, bringing with her an enthusiasm for digital retail and a dark, well-maintained tan. This former sales associate of a retailer she'd rather not mention says that her favorite online purchase was her Peloton, which is weird because none of us knew that Peloton even made a tanning bed. 


Anwar Jammal, Planning Director

What's better than being able to make an Outback Steakhouse Bloomin' Onion? A bobblehead of yourself, like the one Anwar bought online and keeps on his desk, that's what. Or his two prized Beanies (TM) that are the talk of the agency. All proof that when Anwar isn't making money for his clients, he's spending his own money on crap.

Arjun Khalsa, Brand Manager

Arjun (pronounced Kevin) is one of over 700 Digital Advisors currently employed by Commerce Canal. However, you can always tell which one is Arjun because he's the only one from London. Fish and chips for breakfast, chip butties for lunch and three ten-minute blood pudding breaks a day, whether he needs them or not. In addition to growing his client's business online, Arjun brags of his massive tourist energy and hopes to one day see the parts of the world that are neither London nor New York.


Ian Kitchen, Brand Manager

When asked, recent hire Ian Kitchen says his two most outstanding traits are his aura — the distinctive atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person, thing, or place — and his military-grade baldness. When combined, these two attributes create the perfect climate for selling goods online, which is ideal because that's Ian's job. Also interesting, a "kitchen" is a room or area where food is prepared and cooked.

Joseph Leung, CTO

Chief Technology Officer. Well, that's a pretty big title for a guy who still plays with LEGO. When Joseph signed on a few months ago, he assured the other c-suite executives that the LEGO playing wouldn't be a problem, and so far, so good. It's mostly just been top-notch chief technology officer-ing and the odd muttering under his breath in a meeting about what a mini-fig would do in this situation.


Jack McKenna, Brand Manager

Allentown is a song by American singer Billy Joel and was the lead track on Joel's The Nylon Curtain album, released in 1982. Coincidentally, it is also the birthplace of Jack McKenna, Brand Manager and recent hire. Responsible for eCommerce Branding (which is basically Commerce Branding with an extra e), Jack brings his previous experience as a Subway Sandwich Artist to the Commerce Canal team, one foot long at a time.

Akos Miskei, Brand Manager

Originally from Hungary, Akos is a manager of some of Commerce Canal's finest clients. Akos, also called Aki, says he's most known for not ever sleeping, which in the world of digital marketing can be a huge asset. It might also explain why he's so quick to anger and has difficulty speaking, walking, or making eye contact.


Peyton Rollins, Planner

Peyton, or Peyrollz as her friends call her, is an accomplished Digital Advisor from Houston who identifies her favorite online purchase as a recurring subscription of OLLY Sleep Gummies. This well-rested Texan also maintains that her eyebrows won a Gold Browie at the International Eyebrow Awards, which she says is like winning The Heisman Trophy, but for eyebrows.

Christina Rosselli, Planner

Christina describes her primary function at Commerce Canal as helping her clients sell on Amazon, which is apparently a website of some kind. In addition to making her clients rich beyond belief, Christina also loves her pet carrier backpack that she purchased online — impressive only in that her pet is a 240-pound tank of tropical fish.


Siarzuk Sai, Brand Manager

Not only is Siarzuk Sai the only Siarzuk at Commerce Canal, but Siarzuk is also the only employee at Commerce Canal who comes from Belarus, which Google tells us is a landlocked country in Europe. When Siarzuk isn't physically managing his client's brands, he's probably singing about managing his client's brands because singing is what Siarzuk likes to do.

Risha Sawla, Brand Manager

Born in Mumbai, India, Risha joined Commerce Canal back in 2019 and spends her days helping her clients grow their business on Amazon, which she says is fantastic compared to when she was unable to work and was stuck at home. Given the option of any superpower she could think of, Risha chose telepathy, which ironically can easily be done from home.


Keith Sterling, Brand Manager

What do Wendy Williams, Jared Kushner and Commerce Canal Brand Manager Keith Sterling all have in common? They're all from Livingston, New Jersey, that's what. Keith not only brings with him a background in tech, but his self-professed laid-back style makes him the perfect complement to a staff comprised mainly of highly caffeinated fast-talkers.

Maria Taylor, Planner

In addition to her daily supply chain management responsibilities on behalf of her blue-chip clients, Maria speaks fluent Japanese, making her claim of being born in Japan exponentially more believable. As an employee of Commerce Canal since 2018, Maria's friends and coworkers also sometimes refer to her as "Lolita" for some reason.


Marshall Woo, Brand Manager

A native of the Bronx, Marshall Woo has two significant things going for him — his dimples. When pressed on the subject, Marshall says his ideal superpower would be magnetokinesis — the ability to channel, manipulate, and generate magnetic fields that exist naturally or artificially and the same power maintained by Magneto. To be honest, it doesn't sound that cool until you think about all the metal milk-frothing pitchers you could silently crush from the other end of that Starbucks.

 


Movers and Shakers — The Commerce Canal Alumni.


Michaella Barracato, Brand Manager

Michaella hails from New Jersey — a place of which she is clearly protective. On most days, it was common to hear Michaella yelling, "Don't mess with Jersey!" before slamming the phone down. This outward defense of The Garden State might also explain her storied employment at Old Navy, which lasted for exactly one day.

Madison Elias, Brand Manager

Madison's day-to-day at Commerce Canal circled around launching and nurturing her client's brands. A native New Yorker, Madison joined the team in 2017 and also boasts the most significant personality to height ratio in all of the five boroughs.


Emily Fryer, Brand Manager

In addition to having been a top-notch Digital Advisor, Emily is also a first-rate cordless vacuumer, thanks to a cordless vacuum she purchased online. A native of Westchester, NY, Emily says her "little sister energy" is one of her most notable traits. Thank goodness that energy is being used for cordless vacuuming and not for evil.

Leah Hashisaka, Brand Manager 

When Leah wasn’t guiding brands to Amazon selling success, she's probably guiding herself to a stash of snacks. When asked about her favorite supernatural ability, this self-described snack hound said if given a choice, her chosen superpowers would be those of the Scarlet Witch, which we think means making millions of dollars per episode.


Chenda Hong, Brand Manager

Born in The Bronx, Chenda spent her time managing her client's brands and also managing her nickname, Chedda. When she wasn’t knee-deep in the goings-on of brand management, she was most likely found writing something impressive with the famous penmanship that has made her famous.

Maura Quigley, Brand Manager

When you start a professional career nannying for wealthy devil children, managing a brand is second nature, as best proven by Maura Quigley. This native of Maine describes herself as a culture-queen who likes to stay cool by keeping up with current trends and also with a portable, rechargeable hand fan she once purchased online.


Jeff Trinh, Brand Manager

Born in Queens, Jeff joined Commerce Canal in 2019. Along with being an accomplished Digital Advisor, one of Jeff's notable skills was his ability to eat a burger and french fries without suffering from postprandial somnolence. Maybe even more impressive is his ability to pronounce postprandial somnolence.
