About Sean Minard
I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of great products and real-world execution.Retail floors. Online channels. Vendor strategy. Sell-through. Training. Store execution. The details matter, and so does actually believing in what you’re selling.That hasn’t changed.What has changed is the seat I’m in.I recently stepped into a new role as Retail Sales Director at Axon. My focus is simple: build strong retail partnerships, drive sell-in and sell-through, and help more people protect the lives they’ve built.Because at the end of the day, that’s what matters.Outside of Axon, I’m still investing in the things I care about:• Supporting my wife and the work happening at Bend Leadership Academy• Leading weekly Ruck + Lift sessions• Training for the Tactical GamesI care about health, resilience, education, and personal safety. I’m at my best when I’m helping bring meaningful products and ideas into the real world.If you’re at a retailer who cares about non-lethal personal protection, send me a DM and let’s connect.If you’re local to Bend, OR and want to ruck or lift, come join us.If you’re a parent looking for a different kind of education for your kids, check out Bend Leadership Academy.Let’s build things that matter.
