Do you have projects that are stalled or underperforming? Do you need someone to act as an ambassador for your company with clients, internal and external? Do you need someone to guide and motivate your teams? These are the things I love managing and helping make come together on time. Program/Project Management is what I enjoy and am passionate about. Qualities that make me the ideal candidate are: • Driving to Success – Being the springboard to help others succeed is one of my best qualities. Part of that skill is seeing the end game and getting the team to that point. I have done that both during implementations and in the classroom. o “Jayne is a fantastic project manager with an excellent understanding of Agile methodologies. Jayne came on board our team to take over PM duties for a stalled project implementing Salesforce as our new CRM, and was able to quickly understand the business requirements/technology, scope the remaining work, and focus the team in order to see the project to a successful conclusion. Jayne is passionate about her work and would bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to any team looking for project management expertise.” SFDC/ERP Project, VP of Information Technology • Cross-functional leadership – Part of the joy I get is bringing people together to get great things done. Speaking to people in different roles with different communication styles and negotiating to ensure everyone’s wants and needs align. One CEO, a former prosecuting attorney who was not technical, lost faith in the stalled SFDC project and needed to understand how to proceed. After having the Dev team rescope the work, we created a new plan with a $5M budget, which aligned outputs, dates, and team members, which we released on time and on budget. o "Jayne is a talented and insightful project manager with an excellent grasp of Agile development methodologies.

Inherent in that is a conflict about what, when, and how things should be done. Jayne always helped manage the different objectives and agendas to drive the products toward a single, cohesive, and successful end result. That requires a tremendous amount of both attention to detail and patience, which can be hard to find in a single individual and that Jayne has in abundance. Jayne would be a great asset to any company needing someone that can step in and drive projects to successful completion.” Program Manager NetIQ position, Wes, Dev Lead • Intellectual Curiosity – The continued learning and certifications in various topics can evidence my desire to learn and grow. Some certifications I have attained include a Project Management and System Design from Cornell, a SCRUM Master Certification from ScrumStudy, a Regulatory Compliance Certification from the University of Pennsylvania, and Blockchain Revolution Certification from INSEAD. This attribute leads me to ask the right questions during a project to uncover potential pitfalls, allowing teams ample time to identify and mitigate risks. My varied experience in Project Management, Training, Instructional Design, and Sales brings a depth of information to your organization. Some of the industries and clients I have worked in include high-tech (both software and hardware development), cyber-security, e-commerce (both transactional sales and subscriptions), oil and gas, tax consulting, manufacturing, and education industries that bring a lot to the table. In addition to various industries, I have worked in startup environments, global teams, and reporting to managers at all levels locally and in other locations. Methodologies I am well versed in include Agile, Waterfall, and Stage-Gate using PMI methodologies. Additionally, I have taught college-level Government, World Cultures, Psychology, and Project Management skills using multiple applications in Education.

Seattle, WABusiness ConsultingStartup ConsultingVenture Capital ConsultingBusiness DevelopmentInvestment ResearchBusiness PlanCurrently working Pro Bono on legislation for legalization in the kingdom of eSwatini and mentoring future cannabis entrepreneur while increasing experienced indigenous growers knowledges. Jordan Curl is a cannabis entrepreneur, a United States Marine Corps combat veteran , and an international educator. Jordan is a practitioner and proponent of medical cannabis as a therapeutic treatment for PTSD and other ailments, and a cannabis advocate who has been part of the effort to legalize cannabis since 2004. At age 17 Jordan enlisted in the Marine Corps infantry and was deployed to Helmand province Afghanistan for two combat tours as a fire-team leader, and an instructor and advisor to the Afghan National Army and Jordanian Armed Forces. Jordan’s military career also took him to Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Kuwait for joint combat and training operations with their respective militaries. Jordan has worked in the medical and recreational cannabis industry in California, Oregon, and Washington since 2010, and has acquired a high degree of experience within the many modalities of cannabis: cultivation, extraction, processing, and formulations, across a diverse group of products such as vape cartridges, topicals and edibles that he has helped bring to market. He has a deep knowledge of hydrocarbon distillation, chromatography extractions,solventless extractions, and a range of cultivation methods, including indoor, outdoor, greenhouse, mixed lighting and vertical for both soil and hydroponics. In 2012, Jordan co-founded Vulcan Mountain Herbal in Seattle to address the future needs of the still budding cannabis market. VMH is a veteran owned and operated medical marijuana patient cooperative that specializes in indoor growing and vertically integrated processing, extraction and distribution of medical cannabis to its patient network. Many innovative solutions and products that were created by VMH and its partners have now been adopted by the cannabis industry. In 2014, Jordan and his VMH business partners incorporated VMH into a recreational cannabis company called Vulcan Mountain Farms, the second company in the state of Washington to receive a recreational grow licenses for a 20,000 Square foot Tier 2 outdoor production facility. Through Jordan carefully cultivated cannabis network, he was responsible for the collection of over 100 different strains of mother plants and 200 different types of seed genetics for VMFs genetics library, as well as establishing the training and education program for cultivation and extractions. Notably, the company was one of the first in Seattle to accept cryptocurrency. In 2016, Jordan became the acquisitions manager for Seattle Bubble Works, an Artisan producer of water extracted bubble hash and prerolls, his role there included visiting and assessing licensed production facilities on their ability to grow cannabis and produce finished product to be used for the company as extraction material. At this time Jordan also started his consulting agency for the medical cannabis sector in Washington and Oregon, called Growers Without Borders, to assist medical patients conducting small grows for themselves or other patients, this work as flowed over to other countries such as Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, Poland and South Africa. Jordan continues to co-own a medical cannabis delivery service and extraction facility in Seattle. And in 2017 he established a veterans training program, focused on growing and extraction education, called Warriors to Weed. He has consulted on multiple operations throughout the West Coast cannabis markets as well as internationally. Jordan is currently the senior cultivation and extraction associate for iCAN serve, a division of iCAN that provides a range of services to cannabis companies on every continent but Antarctica. Currently he acts as a European representative for iCAN, focusing on creating deal flow, scouting IP for the companies incubator and investment arm, and providing on the ground, qualitative research and analysis for the retail and industry markets for clients focusing on the European sector. - $75/hr $75 hourly

She is very talented and was so efficient with our job. Each deadline was met and we were able to turnaround a whole brand page in such a quick time! Would highly recommend Kerra! :)" - Upwork Client. "Kerra is an All-Star contractor. Shes responsive and talented Amazon Specialist. I look forward to work with her again." - Nick, Upwork Client. --- What can I do for you? --- Recently one of my clients accounts achieved an amazing 143% growth. This gained them an extra $69.9k for the month of January when compared to last year. I achieved this by optimising their listings to be SEO friendly, which increased their Sales Rank. I also continually optimised their Amazon PPC, and created effective marketing and product launch plans. Expertise: • Amazon Account Management - Are you looking to hire an expert to grow your Seller Central account? I can manage your listing optimisation, growth, strategy, FBA (Fulfilment By Amazon), promotional activity, A+ Content, Amazon Stores, advertising / ads / PPC, and more, to maximise your sales. • Enhanced Brand Content / A+ Content / Amazon Store / Infographic Images - I can design and implement beautiful and conversion heavy EBC / A+ Content, Amazon Stores, and Infographic Images. Create the listing of your dreams that will increase conversion and lead to more sales! • SEO / Optimisation / Sales Rank / Split Testing - Are you lost on the 10th page of results? You're not alone! I have a long list of clients who were in that exact position. However, after tweaking their bullet points, titles and descriptions, along with some SEO magic, they now enjoy the benefits of ranking on the first page, with the "Best Seller" and "Amazons Choice" badges. • PPC / Advertising / Amazon Ads - The right keywords are hard to come by! That's why I always make sure to analyse the competition, and use great tools (Google Keyword Planner, H10/Helium 10, Scope) to uncover those hidden gems. I will always make sure I understand your budgeting restraints, and what ACOS/ROI you're looking to operate at. • Marketing Strategy / Build a Brand / Product Launch - Whether you want to launch an exciting new product, develop your brand, or you're stuck in a sales lull, fear not, I am here to help. We can work together to create effective strategies that suit you and meet your goals. Other Areas: • Brand Registry • Copy writing • Audits / Reviews • Creative briefs for photographers, campaigns, graphic designers, etc. One of my clients had an Amazon Advertising account that was running inefficiently. After some aggressive optimisation, the account achieved $4,364.73 spend, $27,201.28 sales which resulted in an amazing 16.05% ACOS! -- About me -- Based in the beautiful Cotswolds I spend my time walking my dog and travelling. I'm a reliable, honest, and hardworking person. I always strive to do the best in everything I do, and that's no different for my work. Thank you for reading my profile.
