I automate operations end to end for distributors and multichannel e-commerce teams — quote to order, order to fulfilment, fulfilment to invoice and reconciliation. Make (Integromat), n8n, and Airtable systems that stop your staff re-typing data between Shopify, Amazon, Bol, QuickBooks, and email.
Most automation freelancers know the tools. Fewer have run the operations underneath them.
I spent 12 years in supply chain, logistics, and digital operations before moving into automation full-time — Accenture, ToolsGroup, driveMybox, and MSC Mediterranean Shipping, as a business analyst, product manager, and product owner on operations systems. I've been on the client side of these builds: writing the requirements, running the testing, and living with the result. I design the process first and the workflow second, which is why my builds hold up under real order volume.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RECENT WORK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HVAC ProSales, Florida (ongoing)
[Airtable → Make → BigCommerce → eBay → Amazon]
4,000+ SKUs were hand-keyed into a single store. I built a structured Product Master system — API synchronisation, category and pricing governance, duplicate prevention, vendor onboarding, and order-to-invoice flow into their accounting. Product data is entered once and publishes to BigCommerce and eBay, with Amazon in progress. One sales channel became three, run by the same two-person team.
The client: "a methodical approach and focus on creating scalable systems rather than quick fixes."
Bol marketplace sellers, Netherlands
[Make → Bol → AI agents]
Inventory management across multiple stores, with AI agents handling product content generation. The operational logic runs in Make; the models do the reading and writing, not the deciding.
Jersey Print Factory, textile production
[Make → Shopify → Gmail → Google Sheets → Drive → Forms]
Order management rebuilt end to end — stock levels adjust automatically and customers get status and delay notifications without anyone writing them. They came back for ongoing support: "our order processing and notification automations have been running smoothly without interruptions."
Trust Up L3C
[Make → Airtable → Softr]
Integration across disconnected systems, with Softr interfaces so the team can act on it. Their CEO: "A brilliant system thinker… his expertise in managing complex data flows and clear communication has been invaluable."
Also recent: a multi-site content pipeline running complex AI agents across 10+ WordPress properties.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MULTICHANNEL IS WHERE I'M STRONGEST
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Bol, Amazon, and eBay — stock, orders, and product data staying in sync across all of them without manual re-keying. If you're selling on more than one channel and reconciling inventory by hand, that's the problem I solve most often. I work with Dutch and Belgian sellers on Bol specifically, which few automation specialists do.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
AI WHERE IT EARNS ITS PLACE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I build AI agents and LLM steps into operational workflows using the OpenAI API — classifying inbound orders and emails, extracting structured data from supplier documents and invoices, generating product content at volume — with the deterministic logic held in Make or n8n around them. Models are good at reading messy input. They should not be the thing your order flow depends on, and I build them so they aren't.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT I WORK WITH
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
→ Automation: Make (Level 4 – Advanced, AI Agent Builder), n8n, Zapier
→ Data & apps: Airtable (Certified Builder), Softr (Certified Professional), Google Workspace
→ Commerce: Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Bol, Amazon, eBay
→ Finance & CRM: QuickBooks Online (ProAdvisor L1 & L2), Kommo (Official Partner), Close, Zoho
→ AI: OpenAI API, AI agent design inside operational workflows
→ Also: Slack, Intercom, WordPress, carrier and warehouse management APIs — anything with an open API
I also train teams to run what I build. Several clients have hired me specifically to bring their own staff up to speed on Make and n8n — across Close CRM, Zoho, Slack, and Google Sheets. One put it this way: "He went beyond just building workflows — he explained each step, empowering me to manage and expand the automations on my own."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW I WORK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed timeline, with milestones tied to defined deliverables. We start with a short call to map where your data actually breaks, then scope from there. Most builds ship in two to eight weeks. Full documentation at handover — you own the system, not a dependency on me.
If you know what you need, message me with what's breaking and I'll tell you whether I'm the right fit.

Fractional COO and Strategy & Operations consultant with 10+ years at EY and Deloitte, delivering transformation programmes for Fortune 1000 clients — Ferrari, Sky, Pirelli, Enel, Stellantis, MSC Cruises — and now applying that same rigour to SMBs and scaling businesses.
My work spans the full arc from strategy to execution: operating model design, CRM and RevOps, programme and project management, AI-enabled workflows, and business process automation. I don't hand off a deck and disappear — I build the systems, run the rollout, and make sure things actually work.
What makes my profile unusual is the combination. I've led a €4B revenue pipeline at Deloitte Europe, managed 30+ vendor ecosystems at Enel, driven a global Salesforce rollout across 6 countries per month at Pirelli, and operationalised a machine-learning Next Best Action engine for Ferrari's dealer network — before LLMs made AI mainstream. On the SMB side, I've built full operating backbones from scratch: CRM, order management, inventory, invoicing, automation, and reporting, all integrated and running.
Core areas I work across:
- Fractional COO / Head of Operations — operating model design, KPI systems, founder dependency reduction, process clarity, and scalable execution infrastructure
- CRM & RevOps — Salesforce, HubSpot, Airtable, pipeline architecture, lifecycle governance, adoption, and reporting
- Project & Programme Management — cross-functional delivery, stakeholder governance, transformation roadmaps, and structured execution under complexity
- AI Automation & Workflow Systems — agentic workflows, voice AI, Make, n8n, Zapier, AI-integrated operations, and no-code/low-code systems
- Strategy & Business Planning — P&L modelling, business cases, market analysis, operating leverage, and value creation roadmaps
If you need someone who can think strategically and build operationally — without switching between two separate people — that's exactly where I work.
