About Us

Joshua Dern, Co-Founder & CEO

Joshua has spent the last 15 years overseeing digital media for some of the world's best known media brands. Before founding Reqoop, he was SVP & GM of Social Media at MTV Networks. Having previously held positions at companies such as Atlantic Records and Fuse Networks, Joshua is taking his passion for developing experiences and entertaining people to luxury retail. When he isn't toiling away on finding great retail partners and making Reqoop awesome, he keeps himself busy playing with legos and watching dogs at Madison Square Park. You also might run into Joshua on the Lower East Side of New York, where he still treks to the old neighborhood where he was born to pick up fresh bialys. Yum!

While on his bialy trek, Joshua likes to stop by and check out sneakers at Reed Space.

Theresa Sim, Co-Founder, Marketing & Sales

Theresa left behind bulky parkas and the Pacific NW for college in the big city and has been a dedicated boutique shopper ever since. After 10 years of living in New York, she's excited to have achieved two of her dreams: starting her own company and having customized closets! She's worked for many years in the digital marketing and analytics space, helping major media companies build and understand their audiences. She was most recently the Director of Audience Development & Emerging Platforms at Lifetime Entertainment, where she was responsible for driving audience growth and insights across Lifetime Digital's properties.
