Meet Kerrie Fitzgerald

From Mompreneur to Ecommerce Boss, Kerrie Fitzgerald, the mastermind behind The Dapper Dog Box, wasn't always an ecommerce guru. This former international education marketer pivoted after a "mompreneur" moment, combining her love for dogs with stylish accessories. Starting with Starbucks brainstorming sessions, she built a loyal following through organic marketing (Instagram, email). From packing orders in her living room to outsourcing tasks, Kerrie learned valuable lessons about scaling and the power of letting go. Eventually, her $200,000/year business found a new home, providing her with the freedom to explore new ventures with a work-life balance she craved. Kerrie's story is a testament to the power of organic growth, strategic decisions, and knowing when to move on.
