About Andrew Rains

I lead the Go to Market efforts for Tocaro Blue as the Senior Sales Director. I\'m responsible for developing sales and marketing strategies and implementation. Prior to Tocaro Blue, my background is in professional motorsports, both as a driver and professional driving coach. Succeeding in motorsports forces you to push your comfort zone, quickly learn new skills, and develop strong relationships. Every skill I possess today, I owe to my background in motorsport. APEX Pro was created to give grassroots racers access to powerful data in a simple way. Through APEX Pro, I learned how to develop both hardware and software products, both of these skills directly translated to my work with MOXIE IoT. MOXIE developed custom hardware and software products for clients in a variety of industries. I worked to find new clients, build relationships, and structure agreements to help suit their needs.With MOXIE IoT I got to learn how innovative individuals and companies think about opportunities and solutions to problems, and then help them bring those solutions to life. My role is to network with technologists and entrepreneurs, and bring them to our team for help in designing products.In September 2023, MOXIE was acquired by Tocaro Blue. I can\'t be more excited to focus on our revenue growth and sales efforts, as well as continue supporting the product development and customer feedback elements of the business. Exciting times!In my time away from work I enjoy spending time with my wonderful wife Leta and daughter Ila, playing music (guitar & bass) with friends, traveling when possible, and eating great food! If you have any interest in cars, motorcycles, airplanes, boats, guitars, technology, or business we\'ll hit off.
