About John Paul
Business development and commercial growth leader with 15+ years of experience driving market expansion, key account growth, and e-commerce strategy across the Lawn & Garden, hydroponics, and controlled-environment agriculture sectors.Former West Central Territory Manager at Sunlight Supply (now Hawthorne Gardening Company), where I scaled an underdeveloped Lawn & Garden territory through disciplined year-over-year growth, distributor penetration, category expansion, and close cross-functional alignment with Marketing, Product, Operations, and Supply Chain teams.I bring a rare blend of commercial leadership and hands-on digital execution. I’ve built and scaled multiple production applications using Shopify, WooCommerce, Vercel, and the MERN stack, led SEO optimization teams, and implemented GitHub-based workflows and KPIs that respect the non-linear reality of modern product development while still delivering measurable outcomes.Founder experience across construction, staffing, and e-commerce has strengthened my ability to operate cross-functionally, manage complexity, and execute growth initiatives in real-world environments.• A family-run staffing business I founded is now operated day-to-day by my wife• A B2B e-commerce platform I built is currently in the process of being licensed and or sold to another horticulture operatorThese transitions allow me to focus fully on senior leadership roles where I can add immediate value in business development, e-commerce growth, and market expansion.I’m particularly well suited for roles that require:• Lawn & Garden or adjacent industry expertise• Cross-functional leadership• E-commerce and digital growth strategy• Retail, distributor, and category program execution• Strategic thinking paired with operational follow-throughOpen to remote leadership roles with travel and conversations with organizations focused on sustainable, scalable growth.
