Founder and President
karim@sbaxxess.com
Karim Kaderali graduated U.C. Santa Barbara in 1998 and founded Santa Barbara Axxess after identifying a void and a need in the market. He had seen similar programs in other areas and set out to do it better. The company was started on a shoestring as a home based business but quickly grew. Over the past decade, Kaderali has met with thousands of business owners and has become an expert in sales, sales management, and direct response marketing. He’s valued as a successful entrepreneur and a leader in the Santa Barbara community. Most importantly, he knows what it takes to create a successful and viable business and is ready to share that knowledge to entrepreneurs looking to make an impact on their own communities.
