Inspired by his 20 years of global brand experience and connection with  cultural innovators and influencers, Timm realized that he had a deep bench of collaborative partners to call upon.  Believing that there are a lot of upstart businesses that could benefit from those experiences, Timm launched TTi Collective with a mission to guide original thinkers through critical milestones, commercialize their genius and unlock their true brand potential.  

During his tenure at Nike, Timm held roles of Senior Global Operations Director, Senior Product Creation Director, Senior Development Director, Category Team Lead and Production Manager.  He spent time leading marketing, product, creative, finance and operations teams.  

Timm has significant international experience; over seven years in SE Asia establishing footwear operations and developing new marketplace opportunities.  He touched tens of thousands of footwear and apparel product launches; some directly in global product creation roles or in leadership positions off-shore. He tailored product for elite athletes, rockstars, politicians, for small-town specialty retailers and even for children with cancer.  Timm also established partnerships with influential artists, designers, and industry icons like Hurley and Levis.  Collaborations like these established Timm as a trusted leader for dynamic and high potential projects and brand campaigns. He was also instrumental in establishing start-up business opportunities, taking niche alternative brand opportunities like skateboarding to the global stage and leading multi billion dollar categories like sportswear.  Along the way, and from each functional discipline, Timm amassed invaluable creative, operational and business acumen.

In late 2014, Timm’s health asked serious questions of him; causing him to leave Nike after 20 years.  The uphill road to full recovery reminded him what’s most important in life.  He realized that waking up everyday to do something he loved doing isn’t dime store magazine fantasy, but something worth investing in, and that it was a real opportunity to gain clear line of site to purpose.
