As sports jersey rental startup Rep the Squad winds down operations, its founder and CEO is on to a new role.

Brian Watkins has joined Bulletproof 360, the maker of Bulletproof Coffee, as its vice president of e-commerce. Bulletproof creates a number of products aimed at improving human performance, including various supplements and food products.

“My role at Bulletproof 360 is overseeing all eCommerce channels and operations including Acquisition and Retention, Bulletproof.com, and Marketplaces including our relationship with Amazon,” Watkins told GeekWire in an email.

He said he will remain engaged in Rep the Squad’s operations as the company closes. When the closure was announced in June, Watkins told GeekWire the company couldn’t secure additional funding to keep the service going.

“We are in the process of shutting down by the end of December. Until then, slinging and selling as many jerseys as possible,” Watkins said in the email. “We have about 1,000 left from top professional teams in Seattle, Bay Area, Los Angles, Denver, and Detroit.”

“Stew is a rare combination of smart, practical, and high-character. He’s also a really fun guy and a perfect fit for Banzai’s culture,” Banzai CEO and co-founder Joe Davy said in a press release. “Stew will lead our technology team as we expand our products to help professionals connect with new ideas through better B2B events.”
