Supplier Oasis is a platform that adds significant value to drop-shippers, suppliers, and e-commerce merchants of all sizes, while tØ aims to apply the transparency, security, and efficiency of cryptographically-protected distributed ledgers to the world of finance.

Wilkins joined Overstock.com as vice president of app development in 2013 after spending two years consulting for the online retailer with WildBeard Technologies, a mobile payment and application monetization company he founded. He was promoted to senior vice president of product development and chief architect for Overstock.com in 2015.
