Meet Nesaht, Founder and CEO
Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked in the consumer products industry, partnering with small start-ups all the way to the largest consumer goods and retail organizations in the world.
Over the course of my career, I gained incredible cross-functional experience, from manufacturing, quality & regulatory, and supply chain. I also moved within the industry – from food to cosmetics and beauty and then into household and home products. This constant learning, combined with building high-performing teams, programs, and functions energized me.
Then the unthinkable happened: I left my corporate job for a new startup.
And wow! I fell in love with the startup’s ideas, dynamic pace, and the need to wear many hats.
But I quickly realized there was a big gap in the market.
This gap was between innovative companies and the experts they needed to help their businesses grow.
I experienced the frustration of needing to develop products and scale quickly but feeling limited in the resources available. I knew we could work more efficiently and rapidly grow – if we just had the right experts.
That’s why I started JIT Experts Hive – to bridge the gap. At JIT Experts Hive, the expertise flexes with your needs. We connect purpose-driven companies to independent, like-minded experts. We link your innovation and dreams to our knowledge and proven expertise.
JIT Experts Hive provides the right expertise anywhere, anytime.
If you’re ready for a win-win solution that brings you more confidence, agility, and competitive edge, let’s talk!
