November's eCommerce Superhero
Each month, we like to feature a company that not only embraces eCommerce, but that innovates and acts as a leader within the online space.
For the month of November, our eCommerce Superhero is Trèsolz. If you've been following geekspeak for some time, you may remember Judy Stewart and Trèsolz from The Black Business Catalyst Project, our award-winning limited web series that we produced in February 2024 for Black History Month. Judy has been up to great things since then, including an appearance on Dragon's Den and securing a deal with Wes Hall! Not only that, but Judy was also selected by NACO Canada to receive $25,000 in mentorship resources for Trèsolz.
We are so proud of Judy for continuing to pursue her dreams and grow her business beyond the BBCP, and we can't wait to see what's next!
