Kieron Sin (et AL)

CEO

Kieron Sinnette was raised in Trinidad and Tobago. He moved to the United States when he was 16 to attend college in Houston. 

In 2001 he bought a one-way Greyhound ticket and made his way from Houston to San Francisco. He was afraid, excited, hopeful, but ultimately unprepared. Within three weeks he’d spent all his money on lodging, food, and other expenses. Kieron was 18, in a great new city, homeless but still hopeful, and looking for a fresh start.

During his first week being homeless, Kieron spent his days looking through online job posts at the main branch of the public library, and nights sleeping on a chair at a shelter on Fell Street. One evening, a staff member referred him to the Larkin Street Youth Shelter for young adults aged 16-24 where as long as he abided by the rules, he was guaranteed three meals per day, guidance counseling, job search assistance, and an opportunity to earn spending money sweeping and picking up trash on Polk and Larkin Streets. And so for six months, he called Larkin Street Youth Shelter his home. 

On his nineteenth birthday, Kieron left Larkin Street Youth Shelter. He’d recently been offered a job at Cal Fed Bank in the Marina. From there, he continued gaining experience in operations and finance working for Oppenheimer and Company, Pacific Coast Bankers’ Bank, and as the Financial Aid Department Leader at Paul Mitchell The School Honolulu. 

In 2011, after a year of writing poems on his personal blog, Kieron got three of his submissions published in   About Place Journal, a literary journal published by the Black Earth Institute dedicated to re-forging the links between art and spirit, earth and society. That same year he was hired to manage operations for the Potrero Dogpatch Merchants Association (PDMA), bringing together his experience in finance with his love for San Francisco. In this role, he witnessed the impact that an active and well-organized merchants association can have in growing and sustaining locally-owned businesses. As a result, he officially launched ProLocal on January 1, 2013.

After 4 years of promoting and advocating for locally owned businesses, Kieron ceased ProLocal SF operations on July 1, 2015. Faced with a growing number of personal crises directly following his divorce, coupled with the numerous operational and   organizational changes ProLocal was undergoing as a result of the process overhaul, Kieron opted to close ProLocal SF on a high note rather than risk damaging the reputation he'd dedicated his life to building, by attempting to address any or all these sudden challenges. Over those 4 years, Kieron hired a total of 12 employees and contractors, contracted over 25 merchants associations, over 10 small businesses, grew revenue from $66K (first year) to 6 figure revenues (second and subsequent years),   became a Freemason, was appointed to the Local Business Enterprise Advisory Committee,  an oversight body that works with the San Francisco Contracts Monitoring Division, he was appointed by Mayor Ed Lee, and he was elected to several other local executive boards and committees. 

Kieron decided to join the US Navy immediately after relocating to Boston, MA. Taking the US Armed Forces oath of enlistment on December 9, 2015, and going active duty on February 10, 2016. His time in the military was short-lived, as during training in Great Lakes IL, he was diagnosed with Keratoconus and separated from the Navy on March 23, 2016. It wasn't all bad news, as Kieron became one of the elite Separated Seamen Recruits to earn a coveted   Bravo Zulu while in separation proceedings. He was awarded this merit in recognition of his work as his division's Religious Petty Officer. 

After Navy separation, Kieron spent a couple of months in Charlotte, NC. While there he enlisted the services of Daniel D. Christmann, J.D. to help him remove the conditions on his US residency.   Kieron returned to Boston   on May 14, 2016, and on September 11, 2017, with the help of the team at The Law Office of Christmann Legal Immigration Law, Kieron obtained regular US Permanent Residency.

In October 2016, Kieron accepted a position as Logistics Manager at Urban Mobility Now, an Amazon Delivery Service Provider (DSP) in Everett, MA. Then in March 2017, Kieron accepted a job offer for the role of Area Manager at ABC Express Delivery Service Inc, another Amazon Delivery Service Provider. After turning in his 2-week notice, he began the new role in April 2017 where he was responsible for managing ABC's operations at all three of Amazon's Boston sites in Everett, Dedham, and Milford. In this position, Kieron refined all company policies and procedures resulting in ABC being the first Amazon Delivery Service Provider to achieve a “Gold” rating in the Boston Market. This milestone was attained at two out of the three Boston stations, Dedham and Milford. ABC also tasked Kieron with designing the company's   marketing material and new website   .

Kieron kicked off 2018 with a cross-country road-trip beginning in Lincoln, Rhode Island and ending in Las Vegas, Nevada. He spent the time sightseeing and visiting friends. After living in Las Vegas for a year and a half, Kieron relocated to Salt Lake City, Utah. He lived in Salt Lake for nine months, and while there he participated in his first triathlon,  placing second in his age group. On February 20, 2020, Kieron relocated to Brooklyn, New York.

On August 30, 2020, Kieron relocated to Chicago, Illinois. Then on September 10, 2020 he began his role as Director of Operations at Stellar Career College.

Kieron moved to Everett Massachusetts in March of 2021 and in May joined the Gopuff team as General Manager for their Flagship Boston fulfillment center and retail location. Gopuff is a digital delivery service operating in over 650 US cities through approximately 250 fulfillment centers. In this role Kieron plans, directs, and is accountable for all fulfillment center and retail operations including deliveries, inventory, equipment, and systems.
