There is a time in every young entrepreneur’s life when they see a need and decide to fill it.  About a year ago, two budding entrepreneur’s did just that.  Working long hours at McKinsey and traveling all over the world consulting for Fortune 500 companies taught them how to creatively solve whatever need they came across.  But you don’t want to just hear the story of how FiveStars was launched again (although our children’s book adaptation will make great bed-time reading for young parents everywhere), you come to the FiveStars blog for the juice.  

Victor Ho – CEO and world-class super smash brothers player.  Also, apparently a ninja because you  can’t find him on google.  Or you can, because he is frequently confused for his namesake actor extraordinaire. Victor is a voracious, tenacious, and all around badass CEO.   To give you a better idea of his talents, he once fixed my boat’s engine when no one else had any idea what was going on (wait… our CEO is a mechanic too?) and rarely sleeps as he plans the future of FiveStars.  He is frequently found pacing the warehouse in the early morning hours with his hands behind his back.

Matt Doka – CTO and world-class wrestler.  Ok, I’ve never seen him wrestle but I would be scared to be his opponent. In fact, in the virtual office “who would dominate in a fight” Matt got everyone’s vote. Other than Victor, who voted for himself.  Matt is found at 37.418723, -122.094502 commanding the “devstar” our rockstar team of developers that have intimidatingly started calling themselves the devstar after the Starwars DeathStar.  Talents: board games, getting ripped and dominating the competition. He is frequently found under the florescent glow of multiple 23″ monitors muttering to himself “FiveStars FiveStars FiveStars”. He is also a really good person (see what he was doing before FiveStars!)
