Founder & CEO — WLM Group LLC | Mill Valley, CA

I’m Theo Marker, a Mill Valley–based entrepreneur focused on transforming how luxury goods move through the world. As the Founder and CEO of WLM Group LLC, I specialize in circular-economy solutions and sustainable liquidation — giving unused premium products new life instead of letting them go to waste.

My work began in the heart of California’s wine region, where I saw firsthand how craftsmanship, brand heritage, and sustainability intersect. That inspired Cork Creations — a design venture where I partner with wineries and industry professionals to reclaim discarded wine corks and turn them into refined home décor. I love the idea that every cork tells a story — where it was opened, who it brought together — and deserves a second life.

This same mindset led me to launch WLM Resale, which restores and resells luxury health, beauty, and lifestyle items. I source surplus inventory from trusted partners to reduce environmental waste while preserving value for the brands behind them. Luxury should never end up in a landfill — quality deserves circulation.

Service keeps me grounded. Through the Children’s AIDS Art Programme (CAAP), I supported children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa, helping with donor outreach and crisis coordination. That experience reinforced what I believe business should be: profitable and compassionate.

I was raised in Mill Valley, California, where I also trained and mentored younger golfers as a developmental instructor, building leadership and patience — qualities I now bring into entrepreneurship.

Today, I’m building WLM Group into a vertically integrated company rooted in sustainability, community, and long-term impact — from the vineyards of Napa to the luxury markets of the Bay Area.
