Andrew Witkin |
Founder, CEO
Andrew has always had a passion for business and branding. He founded StickerYou in 2008 after an inspiring trip to California where he noticed the important role that stickers played in LA life. After returning to Toronto, Andrew researched various methods for buying stickers and realized just how prohibitively expensive it was for individuals to create high-quality, customized stickers. He set out to change that, and StickerYou was born. His vision to create an empowering destination for premium quality stickers, decals, labels and tattoos has helped companies and individuals express themselves through customized products they can create themselves.
As the founder of a global e-commerce leader in custom-printed, die-cut products, Andrew is widely recognized as a leading authority on e-commerce, customization, startups, marketing and the tech economy. He has also served as VP North American Licensing for Nelvana/Corus Entertainment and Director of Marketing for MegaBrands/Mattel.
