Drew Sanocki

Drew is a New York-based online retail veteran. He founded my first company, Design Public, after receiving my M.B.A. from Stanford, and grew it into one of the premier online design retailers. After eight profitable years, he sold the company to private investors in 2011. He now runs Empire Growth Group, a hybrid consulting agency, services provider, and investment vehicle. Through Empire he provides digital growth advice and services to investment firms and their portfolio companies. Recently, he was the CMO of Karmaloop.com, performing diligence, taking the company from bankruptcy to break-even over 9 months, and then exiting the business in 2016. His marketing automation and customer segmentation rules have driven over $100 million in transactions in 2015.
