MEET OUR TEAM
ARTHUR BRONFMAN
Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer
Arthur oversees all product acquisition and sales for RecirQ. Arthur started matching used supply with used demand at 16 years old. Leveraging his passion for Nike shoes he was able to identify sneakers listed below market and began winning auctions. Then he was able to sell them for a profit by cleaning them, taking better pictures, and listing them for sale at the correct market price. Arthur had to use his mom’s PayPal account because he was not old enough and, in just one year, he made over $100,000 selling used products.
Arthur became an expert in the circular economy before he even knew what that was. This experience led to the launch of the ARA Global Group. Arthur quickly learned that the top selling device on eBay at the time was a Blackberry. He taught himself how to repair mobile devices and source parts.
While he was running this business and going to school, Arthur became an intern for Daymon John for the first two seasons of Shark Tank. When ARA experienced significant growth, he relocated the company from Brooklyn, New York to Miami.
Arthur’s hobbies include exotic cars, sneakers, and video games.

Reuben is responsible for capital investment, investor relations, contractual relationships, and business development. Reuben has a very strong business acumen and the ability to drive change.

In addition, he was responsible for helping secure the funding needed to acquire more products.
