The Team behind BoxiToyz - an intro by the Founder & President
BoxiToyz is driven by passion, fun and creativity.
BoxiToyz was an idea that wouldn't leave me alone.
Really....
It nagged and nagged at my brain - interrupted me on countless occasions when I should have been focusing on other things; and generally made my friends and family wish I would just do it, so they could stop hearing how this idea was driving me to distraction.
You could say that it's due to my family and friends that BoxiToyz was really born - thanks everyone!
I hope you like what we do - the feedback has been great so far!
Thank goodness- otherwise all the effort, time and people involved to make it happen would be rather upset with me - luckily for me they are still by my side...

Stephanie - Operations
Stephanie is our go to person for everything that requires organization. She does not spend much time thinking outside the box, for making sure the boxes are going where they need to be - on time, and to the right person is of paramount importance.
In addition to her organizational skills, Stephanie is the BoxiToyz Operational guru.
Yes she wears two hats, but when they fit so well, why find another head?

Kirstin - VP Marketing & Customer Experience
Kirstin is part of the family, in more ways than one. She is the sister of BoxiToyz founder. Don't think for a second she got here on family connections and charm alone; Kirstin holds a degree in French and Psychology, she's got a postgraduate diploma in marketing and holds Chartered Marketer status; a brain box who also happens to do well at collaborating with the team - and delivering the BoxiToyz message to the masses.
Got an issue? email: Kirstin <at> boxitoyz <dot> com (but be nice - she has razor sharp elbows and she knows how to use them!)

Jamie Rich - Director of Corporate Relations & Development
Jamie Rich loves people; in fact it's fair to say that most people love Jamie Rich as well.. After graduating from The University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Arts (BA), in Social Work - Jamie started her career helping non-profit organizations and their constituents.
With a natural flair for balancing motherhood, and a career - while looking after the needs of employees and clients alike - Jamie is the goto person within BoxiToyz for helping to make everything work / feel better, or simply come up with a sensible solution for something that may be driving us a bit batty!
What would we do without her?

Christopher Hill - President & CEO - FundStream Inc / FundScrip
Chris has enjoyed success in not only leading start up's in an executive role, and then becoming market leaders in their field; but has also enjoyed the satisfaction of starting his own companies and building them up for successful exits.
Chris currently spends most of his time with his wife and two young children, who were actually present when the first serious conversation of BoxiToyz took place in their kitchen. It's fair to say his children did not realize the magnitude of the conversation taking place - they were too busy playing in a large cardboard box...

Sandra Sims - Director of Advertising Sales at Sojourners
Sandra is a self described entrepreneur, internet geek and community activist. As the founder and publisher of Step by Step Fundraising, Sandra created information products and content based websites to serve the nonprofit community, leading to successful exit, after many years of mostly self taught internet marketing savvy brilliance.
Sandra's breadth of experience in both the online world and non-profit space is an ideal resource for BoxiToyz, as we have big plans for helping the world become a more imaginative place - one child and BoxiToyz box at a time...

Jay Derstenfeld - President & CEO - Prescott Finishing Inc
Jay is a car nut. Luckily for him his wife is very understanding and supports his passion for racing. Luckily for us Jay is also a very accomplished executive in the manufacturing industry - running one of the few remaining family owned and operated textile manufacturers in North America.
A master negotiator coupled with a zen like presence, Jay's insight's into the do's and 'don't even think about it' keep us on a straight path.
Driving his car is almost as much fun as being in a BoxiToyz airplane. Almost.

Ray Richards - Founder of Darkroom Pro
Ray is a chameleon. Depending on the day - he is a professional photographer, product manager, producer, analyst, publisher and columnist. Which is frustrating, because while the majority of people who try to hone their skills across multiple verticals end up a 'jack of all trades, master on none' - Ray manages to master all of his.
While Ray's brain is obviously built to manage information in a different way to most; the part that handles humility, humour, compassion and patience is also there in spades.
