Our People
We are a group of genuinely nice people. We are committed professionals, committed to our Brands and each other. We enjoy a work environment filled with innovation, teamwork, growth, results, and accountability. This is what the team has to say about working here:
Patrick B. | VP of Sales
"I've been with Radical Share since July 2023 and support NECA, Kidrobot, Rubies, Wizkids, Enesco, and JEI. During that short time, I've been impressed with the people, product, and leadership. There's a real team spirit within all the companies, and people have been friendly and open with their time and knowledge. The products (including collectible figures, plush, games, and costumes) are fun and include a wide range of popular licenses including DC, Disney, Universal Monsters, TMNT, and Sanrio. Joel Weinshanker, our founder, is a visionary with a strong grasp of popular culture and the retail landscape coupled with a keen financial sense. Our customers are some of the largest retailers in the world including Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Target, and Walmart. I most enjoy the variety of projects and being at the intersection of pop culture and retail."
Dylan G. | Operations Analyst
"There is a unique culture at NECA that walks the line of casual - but entrepreneurial to its core. NECA reflects both the spirit of working in the toy industry and the adaptability needed to handle the multitude of brands we collaborate with. After I was hired in 2022, my team has taken on many new contributors; all of which follow an ethos that values creativity, efficiency, and personal growth."
Rachel S. | VP, Manufacturing & Development
"I have been working at NECA for 17 years, and I can say with complete confidence that I have an extremely fulfilling career at a very exciting company. NECA has given me the opportunity to explore and excel in many different roles, wear a ton of different hats, travel around the world for business, and just be the best that I can be. Every day presents new challenges and opportunities to use creative problem solving for innovation within the consumer products field. In addition, my colleagues are wonderful, intelligent, and creative people, who I value, respect, and enjoy. It's a blast to work on products from movies and shows from childhood, as well as current IP."
Sara M. | Sr. Director, Product Development Mgmt
"I started at NECA in 2004. Had a brief hiatus when I moved, but I've been with the company for a grand total of 17.5 years so far. I basically grew up within this unique company. NECA is in my DNA. Many of my coworkers feel like family. It's been most satisfying to see how much it has grown and to know that I have helped it grow. It has provided me with the opportunity to work on countless beloved properties over the years. My proudest moment was when NECA was awarded "Licensee of the Year" for soft lines by LIMA 2 years in a row for product lines that my team and I produced. I love seeing our items out in the world and I feel great when I see product that I helped bring to life."
Dell T. | Accounting
"I've been employed at NECA for 21 years!! I love working for NECA because everyone works as a team across all the companies. It's also a fun place to work along with so many of my talented colleagues!! What I enjoy the most is the pleasant & comfortable atmosphere and ALL the Cool & Collectible items created since 1996!! During these past years I've had too many memorable moments to choose from."
Crystal W. | Director of Social and Influencer Marketing
"Working at Radical Share has given me the chance to develop my professional skills in ways I could never have imagined. Our team thrives in a fast-paced environment, and we tackle challenges through collaboration to create effective strategies for some of the world's most popular consumer product companies."
Steven B. | CFO, Ad Populum LLC
"Why joining Ad Populum was the right move for me: After spending 29 years in the corporate world and always having a passion for learning and a desire to be more entrepreneurial, I thought Ad Populum would be a great fit for me, where I could bring my many years of experience to smaller company and have a greater impact across the enterprise. As the decision to change my career path was difficult, after only 4 months with Ad Populum, I could not be happier with my decision to leave the big corporate world for a smaller, growing business. The experience that I have gained in the past 4 months would have taken me another 5+ years to gain at a large corporation and the future growth opportunity for the organization is tremendous. Ad Populum operates in fast-paced environment spurred by quick decision making and personal independence that allows team members to wear many different hats and gain in-depth knowledge on the many facets or the business. The people factor in any company is critical to its success, at Ad Populum we have a very strong foundation of talent with a good mix of team member with years of institutional knowledge and other newer team members that bring new ideas to keep the business evolving and advancing. If you are looking for an opportunity built on personal growth, learning, culture and driving enterprise results, Ad Populum may be the right fit for you."
Justin Z. | President, WizKids
"I work for the gaming division of NECA, WizKids Games. My experience isn't unique, but I can speak for many that have shared similar sentiments with me over the years. My work history spans 25 years in the gaming industry working at most of the big companies in the space. When I joined NECA 14 years ago, I was fortunate enough to work with the owner and found a way to blend the entrepreneurial culture with my previous training at other corporations. I find the freedom and autonomy at NECA and (the family of companies under the umbrella) to be refreshing. The opportunity has been liberating and has allowed us to prosper. If you like to get things done and have a track record of good ideas - NECA ticks a lot of the right boxes. It's the perfect combination of entrepreneurial spirit and structure (just the right amount)."
