ABOUT
Jonathan Marquardt
President
I have loved selling since I opened my first lemon-aid stand in grade school. When I graduated college, I opened a coffee shop in Madison, Wisconsin which eventually turned into two shops and a roastery. Owning a business taught me an enormous amount about customer service and what it takes to make a success. I joined YETI as a member of its first sales team in 2013 holding a few different leadership roles in HR, International Sales, B2B and Custom.
I work with each of our portfolio brands as a contract general manager, head of sales and general. Many of our clients are looking to expand from a DTC only business to a meaningful presence in the wholesale market. While the way we shop has changed dramatically, the power of touch-see-feel to connect with a new customer hasn't...it has just evolved.
As a consultant I bring ideas and excitement along with a dedicated focus to producing results. I look forward to learning about your business and sharing how we can help you achieve your goals!

Agent - WI/IL
I love the outdoors and enjoy spending time with family and friends!
Since joining the Sales Collective I have been on the road making it happen and building relationships along the way. Being part of this team is a great experience and I'm proud to represent a group of strong brands.
When I'm not on the road spreading the word...I enjoy skiing, hiking, camping, grilling out and spending time on the water.
