Autonomy Distributors was started in 2014 with brand and launch development from Robert Manasier and his firm, In Focus Brands. The distributors sourced US-made craft products and sold them across the globe, opening 6 countries to their branded product lines. In May, 2016, under Robert Manasier, the operations, logistics and turnkey systems were rolled up and sold to their international partners. The exit has created an opportunity for Autonomy Distributors to reinvent themselves which started with the launch of the EDA Fund (under Robert Manasier’s management), CrowdBuild TM (a service platform to build, engage and empower your community to action before launching a crowdfunding campaign) and this new board appointment.Tara Lin of Autonomy Distributors reports: “We needed Bob’s (Manasier) experience and strategic experiences on our board as we form new entities and business lines. He led our startup launch to exit and we could not have accomplished this phenomenal growth without him. Our great working relationship and shared vision for Autonomy’s future made this an easy decision for us.”
Robert Manasier will step down as COO and interim-CEO of Autonomy Distributors effective December 30, 2016. A new CEO and COO will be named from within the international organization. Mr. Manasier who is CEO of In Focus Brands had assumed leadership for the startup during its launch phase.
Jill Daye of In Focus Brands comments: "The relationship we have built with Autonomy Distributors across the globe is a great example of how we work with our clients and is what we strive for every day. A true team relationship where we jump in where and when we are needed."
