#313: Izabella Ritz - Sold First Business at 17, Many More After, Tips on Scaling and Selling
Izabella Ritz is the Founder and CEO of Ritz Momentum in 2019, which began serving students she was teaching to sell on Amazon. She saw that they led busy lives and wanted to help them realize their vision of starting a business on Amazon, just as she had done in 2015.
Izabella emigrated from Russia in 2015 with her three children. A serial entrepreneur since the age of 17, she has created and sold multiple businesses where she developed her expertise in e-commerce and digital marketing to grow virtually any online business.
Today, they have become a one-stop shop for Amazon's business services. From optimizing Amazon listings, to the cumbersome task of finding and creating a product to sell on Amazon, the agency has grown to provide virtually anything a new or experienced seller needs to scale their business.
