Influencer Marketing Manager Elisha Fronda has been with Whatnot since day one. Four years ago, Elisha graduated from Grand Canyon University with a degree in business management. It was at the height of COVID, and the plans he had to work in the sports industry were derailed. Instead, he took a job at a new startup, Whatnot, packing boxes inside the founders' garage. Today, Elisha partners with some of our platform's top sellers and influencers, making a meaningful and lasting impact on the business. But Elisha's work doesn't stop there — he's committed to leading by example, connecting with, mentoring, and recruiting students from his alma mater. Read more about Elisha's inspiring journey and his advice on not being afraid to start from the ground up.
