***ALL PROCEEDS GO TO CHARITY*** Roman Sharf’s dynamic blend of hustle, business savvy, and charisma have driven his company from a single transaction to a $150 million a year business. The son of immigrants fleeing repression in the Soviet Union in 1988, Roman is an American Dream high achiever. His hustle—combined with drive, tenacity and humility—were there from the very beginning. Whether the job was delivering papers, working as a dishwasher or bus boy, or driving a bagel truck, Roman crushed it. After a season in construction, he joined the US Army at age 18. His service as a calvary forward observer opened the door to Penn State on the G.I. Bill. Seeing a future in IT, he parlayed his engineering degree into a position at Deutsche Bank, quickly rising to a six-figure salary and a Vice President’s title by the age of 26. A chance request to help sell a luxury watch was the start of a remarkable business success story. Working from his basement selling high end watches on eBay, he was able to exceed his bank salary within two years. With business savvy and financial acumen acquired in equal parts from his executive role at a multinational bank and the menial jobs of his youth, Roman has created a powerhouse in the watch and jewelry wholesale and retail business. He learned the nuts and bolts of how business works, how to sell, how to inspire and lead people, how to scale a business, and how to grow profit. The success of Luxury Bazaar is in no small measure thanks to Roman’s charisma. Whether he is focusing on inspiring an employee, wooing a customer, or engaging millions of YouTube viewers, Roman has an uncommon ability to connect with people. In a trust-based business, his reputation is impeccable and his relationships are long-standing. And people enjoy doing business with him, as employees, suppliers, and customers. The hustle that drove a pre-teen paper boy to excel remains strong today as Roman’s business stands poised for exponential growth. Roman looks at his success so far and says: “It doesn’t mean we are done.” Indeed, he plans to go far and beyond with the business, growing exponentially to over $300 million as the next level.
