I help organizations build scalable businesses
not just manage them.

Twenty years of building eCommerce organizations from the ground up. Strategy, systems, analytics, risk management, and the operational discipline to make growth sustainable.

Scale
"I build businesses by creating repeatable systems instead of relying on individual effort."

My approach has always been the same: understand the business deeply, design the right systems, measure what matters, and automate what can be automated — so that growth becomes structural rather than heroic. Organizations that rely on individual effort to sustain themselves are fragile. Organizations built on repeatable systems are durable.


I combine marketplace strategy, operational discipline, analytics, risk management, and organizational development to create the kind of growth that compounds over time — not growth that collapses the moment attention shifts elsewhere.

Organizations built to last.

Marketplace Businesses

End-to-end marketplace strategy across Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, eBay, and DTC channels — from catalog architecture and pricing models to expansion strategy and long-term growth planning.

Operational Systems

Scalable operating models with documented SOPs, quality systems, accountability frameworks, and repeatable processes that function without constant oversight.

Account Defense Organizations

Internal marketplace governance capabilities — investigation methodologies, appeal frameworks, risk scoring, and operational controls that protect high-value accounts over the long term.

Analytics & Decision Infrastructure

Executive dashboards, business intelligence systems, and proprietary models that give leadership the visibility to make strategic decisions with confidence rather than intuition.

Automation & Business Systems

Custom software, workflow automation, and AI-assisted processes that reduce operational friction, improve visibility, and allow organizations to scale without proportional headcount growth.

Leadership Organizations

Domestic and international teams — including virtual assistant organizations — with structured onboarding, performance management systems, and leadership frameworks designed for scale.

Deep experience across the full business stack.
