Roxana Jerris Founder, Rocks Strategy · Full-Time ETA Searcher
I came to America from Romania in 2013 with my daughter and $2,000 in my pocket. I built a career from the ground up: from software development for ship design and monitoring to real-time shop-floor monitoring systems, to earning my MBA at Michigan Ross, to building and leading 45+ person teams at Cisco.
Now I'm ready to put 20 years of operational leadership into acquiring and growing a great business. I'm not here to flip. I'm here to build the next chapter of my American Dream.
Serious. Funded. Ready to Close.
