We’re obsessed.
It all began when I was voluntold to run with a new venture for the company I worked for at the time - a leading UK retailer. The new venture that awaited me was an eBay store, and a subscription to an expensive multi-channel management software platform that I had zero information about.
Early Stages.
After that first foray onto eBay, we branched out to Amazon and grew those businesses to multi-million dollar per year in sales. We reached the point that we couldn’t load new products to the sites fast enough to keep up with the sales.
Advancing.
After several successful years with our eBay and Amazon stores, I took the leap and left the retail side of ecommerce and ‘jumped the fence’ to the other side - to the ecommerce platform world. I’ve spent the last 10 years working with clients - brands, retailers, resellers, distributors - helping them to plan their next marketplace to expand to both locally, and internationally.
I’ve also spent those same 10 years working with the marketplaces that my clients want to sell on. I’ve been exceptionally fortunate that my job lets me spend time working with, chatting to, and discovering new marketplaces across the world - every single day.
Next Adventure.
Throughout all those interactions, I’ve met lots of people who also work with marketplaces. I’ve even met a few who are as equally obsessed with marketplaces as I have been for the last decade plus. Those crazy kids are joining me on this adventure.
Together we are a group who can offer, combined, over 50 years of experience. Across many countries. Every stage of a marketplace journey; from conception and technical design, working with integrators, designing their taxonomy, onboarding sellers, seller acquisition strategies…all the way through to seller launches, and to international expansion. With all that knowledge, we also have fantastic insight to the marketplaces and which categories they specialize in, and a deep knowledge of the types of sellers they are seeking - meaning if you’re a brand, retailer, reseller, or distributor, we already know the answers to your question on “where should I go next”.
We love learning about every single marketplace we work with, and are thrilled to be able to watch brands, retailers, and resellers expand their businesses after finding the right marketplace fit.
