Ioan Mitrea
SellerEngine

Ioan Mitrea started selling books on Amazon on Thanksgiving Day 2001 while living in his father-in-law’s attic with his one-year old daughter. His intuitive knack for technology led him to expanding on Amazon and make selling easier for everyone. As Amazon opened new marketplaces to third party sellers, he reached out to friends in the UK, Germany, Japan and France. Together they were able to open Amazon accounts and reach customers around the world.

Using the lessons he learned from selling books, Ioan founded SellerEngine Software in 2002. His ultimate vision was to create a company for unique people like himself, a place where collaboration, community and diversity are celebrated. Over 10 years later, he’s proud to say that SellerEngine is home to passionate musicians, winemakers and champion table tennis players. Ioan’s ability to connect with his clients raises the bar in setting a prime example of developing solid relationships. His talent for translating innovative ideas to evolving digital spaces makes him a leader in the industry.

Originally from Romania, Ioan studied quantum physics and chaos theory in France before finding his way to Portland, Oregon. He loves to challenge himself to try new things and is passionate about forging connections, creating communities and bringing people together. When he’s not performing super human feats with technology, you can find him dancing, dreaming about permaculture, or working out at the local Crossfit gym.
