Originally from Wisconsin, Nathan Vazquez studied computer science at Yale, in New Haven, Connecticut. He worked for Citibank as an options trader for 15 years in MN, NYC, and London. In 2015, tempted by the idea of being his own boss with a schedule that allowed him to be at home with his kids in the evenings, Nathan left his job as a trader to help build Pipsticks, his wife’s sticker subscription business, in sunny CA. Within a year, Pipsticks had thousands of subscribers in over 50 countries. Now 10 years later, as CEO of Pipsticks, Nathan has helped lead the company as a successful E-Commerce and wholesale brand through partnering with major retailers, negotiating licensing deals, and making Pipsticks the leader in sticker trends, design, materials, packaging, and product innovation.
