Jim Estill, Angel Investor

I am the owner and CEO of Danby Appliances. We sell about 2,000,000 appliances per year - mostly fridges, freezers, and wine coolers but also window and portable air conditioners, and dehumidifiers(the common theme - they have compressors). And microwaves, stoves, dishwashers, laundry etc. I have been an entrepreneur for my entire life. Growing a technology distribution business from the trunk of my car to more than $2 Billion in sales. I am an investor, advisor, and board member to many technology businesses, including Blackberry – formerly Research In Motion (RIM) – where I served as a founding director for 13 years. I have also written two books. One on time management called “Time Leadership: Using the Secrets of Leadership for Time Management,” and more recently “Zero to $2 Billion: The Marketing and Branding Story Behind the Growth.” But mostly I am a Humanitarian. Trying to do the Right Thing.
