ABOUT

Aidan Borman

A bit about me

I'm an Agricultural Business student at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, set to graduate in June 2025. My professional journey has spanned commercial real estate, sales development, and academic research, giving me a diverse skill set and perspective.

I'm excited by the opportunity to help growing companies scale through sales development. I'm drawn to the energy of early-stage teams and love getting a behind-the-scenes look at how businesses are built. Being part of the growth process—learning directly from the people driving these companies forward—fuels my curiosity and motivates me to contribute and find a way to provide value.

Outside of work, I'm passionate about leadership and community. I've taken on roles organizing charity events and enjoy bringing people together around a shared cause. I also have a deep appreciation for travel, which has shaped my worldview and strengthened my adaptability and communication skills.
