I've built and scaled 3 online businesses and now enjoy helping others to do the same. I work with founders of ecommerce businesses as an 'in the weeds' advisor to help you overcome obstacles and stay motivated.
Scaling a business can be challenging, you don't have to go it alone. I deliver clear insights into the root causes and best next steps to give founders confidence in their decisions.
Focused on building simple, reliable processes to test and learn across the customer journey. Automated dashboards provide real time and trend data that we dig into into our sessions to review performance to course correct, accelerate what's working and come up with the next round of optimisations.
Typical areas of focus
- Working with Founders who are wearing a lot of hats
- Integrating AI automations and generative output
- Paid Ad performance across Google, Meta, TikTok,
- Site CRO & inventory optimisation
- CRM - Campaigns, Automations, loyalty
- Data and insights - KPIs, reports and insight generation
- Operational excellence - workflow design & SOPs
Outcomes & Deliverables during our sessions
- Root cause mapping that supports fast feedback loops that turn noise into signals
- Clear go or no-go decisions using a simple scorecard for products, channels, and tests
- Measurable de-risking of spend through pre-mortems, guardrails, and checkpoint reviews
- Async reviews and feedback to maintain momentum and unblock resources between calls
From product sourcing, marketing, logistics, customer service, team building, agency management, AI and tool integration I can help you navigate every aspect of building brand.

5 out of 5 stars
Over the last 3 months we moved from a marketplace to our own site, and the results were night-and-day. The biggest unlock was Richard’s mentorship. Solutions-first. Even when our products or setup weren’t perfect, he always brought practical options we wouldn’t have thought of ourselves. Full-stack support. He’s hands-on across site UX, Meta/TikTok/Google ads, and email/CRM—so messaging and the purchase journey stay consistent end-to-end. Direct + actionable. His advice is clear and useful—whether via text or on a call. I couldn’t always execute everything right away due to time, but the guidance still paid off. Transferable impact. I applied his playbooks to other businesses too, which boosted my income and pushed my career forward. Real ROI. He saved us time and money by steering us away from unprofitable rabbit holes and toward what actually moves the needle. If you’re in a spot like we were, I strongly recommend working with Richard. He’ll guide you, keep you focused, and help you scale faster.

Richard has full knowledge of the e-commerce business in all industries. Amazing. I never thought that one person could know so much. I was very impressed. Will do more calls with him soon.
