Hi, I’m

Chad Marquardt

Financial Administrator / Executive Assistant

Summary

Currently, I serve as the Financial Administrator and sole Bookkeeper at Riva Health, collaborating closely with the co-founder of Siri, Dag Kittlaus. Reflecting on the past decade, my professional journey has evolved towards prioritizing work-life balance while leveraging the extensive skill set I've cultivated over two decades as a startup entrepreneur.

During these 20 years, I achieved notable success by spearheading the establishment and management of numerous retail locations. My responsibilities encompassed all aspects of operational financial administration, general administration, IT, and marketing.

With my present workload efficiently managed, I am eager to embrace fresh challenges and assume additional responsibilities, particularly within the startup landscape. My passion lies deeply in the fields of Health, Wellness, and Sustainability, and I actively seek remote positions that align with these values.
