Summary

Senior Amazon & E-Commerce Consultant | Fractional Marketplace Lead

Senior Amazon & E-Commerce Consultant with many years of experience in building, scaling, and running e-commerce brands. My focus is on Amazon marketplace management - from strategy and account analysis to listings, SEO, PPC, and conversion, as well as prioritizing and driving specific growth measures.

I support brands as an external sparring partner or fractional marketplace lead when senior know-how or operational capacity is missing in-house. I can lead strategically as well as get hands-on in execution and support existing agencies, freelancers, or internal teams with expert guidance.

My experience does not come from consulting alone: I have built my own e-commerce brands, developed and scaled Amazon FBA products, and sold a brand to an aggregator after successful growth. I also worked as a coach & advisor for the Amazon FBA network AMZ Hackers.

Beyond Amazon, I bring practical experience with TikTok Shop, Etsy, Shopify, brand building, and building digital trust in e-commerce. I use AI and automation in a targeted way to make analysis, content, and operational processes more efficient.

A good fit for brands that are not looking for another general service provider, but for experienced e-commerce expertise on demand - for individual projects, ongoing sparring, or as an external senior resource.
