Yesler: Where We Came From
In the lumber industry relationships matter. Historically, technology investment in this industry had focused on manufacturing and attempts to digitize sales and marketing eliminated the identity, reputation, and value created by individual traders. Not all lumber is equal, nor are the lumber traders who create liquidity in the supply chain. The industry needed a technology solution for lumber trading that recognized the value of relationships, reputation, and trader identity.
By 2019, I had spent more than two decades in the industry in a wide variety of roles from product engineering to leading marketing, sales and supply chain for one of the largest LBM manufacturers. I knew the industry was on the cusp of a technology revolution and I wanted that to be led by people from within the industry, not outsiders.
I launched Yesler Solutions in 2019, bringing together a team of LBM pros and tech startup experts to bring the vision to reality.
