October 18, 2022 – Boat Covers Joshua Bremmerer and Leader Lab Tania Luna




Joshua Bremmerer – Co-founder of Komodo Boat Covers             

In business, time and money are the exact same thing!

Joshua Bremmerer left school at 16 to enroll in a culinary arts program, before working in restaurants while being enrolled in the program for two years. For the next six years, Joshua traveled and competed in ski competitions while working as a line cook and part-time at a ski shop. Joshua then dropped everything and moved to the French Alps, before working at a Subaru GMC dealership back in the US and finally settling at a full-time position at the aforementioned ski shop. He learned so many applicable attributes that he now use daily as a CEO. From the competitive drive as a competitive skier, to the sales tactics in the Subaru dealership—every step had its own benefits. However, it was at the ski shop where things really took off. Joshua began by completing the digitalization of the rental and sales process, including the creation from scratch of an eCommerce store and a spin-off for boot fitting. After leaving the ski shop, he was given the chance to assist in the opening of the marine department of a sizable Powersports store. From there, Komodo was finally created. He learned a lot during his two years at the marine dealership, and he still use the contacts he established there every day at Komodo.
