Right before the global pandemic I had met Michelle James in Las Vegas at the Reverse Logistics Association, the intro was a quick one “We’ve developed this group to bring the industry together, make sure that everyone involved is at the table and move this Wild Wild West industry forward.” Fast forward the last few years has been a whirlwind, so much change in such a short period of time, CTIA, #RLSQ and WISE Certification became the industry standard. If you would have told me 4 years ago this group had evolved to having the most respected OEM’s, Marketplaces and Carriers all in one place I would have thought you were crazy. Here we are 4 years later, Apple, Samsung, Amazon, ebay, Reebelo, etc all talking about the challenges faced. Changes never happen overnight, but it is the continued commitment of the working groups that try to define the future. Last night they surprised me. Humbled, honored and thankful to be recognized for trying to help move this industry forward, Quick Ship Brands and Team was given an excellence award. After hearing about the agenda for 2025, although we’ve collectively accomplished so much, it feels like we are still just getting started. Thank you for the recognition and helping shape the future of the secondary market and circular economy!
