About David

Your e-commerce brand is growing

Your operations, however, are starting to overflow.

I am a **Fractional E-commerce Operations Manager**, the operational link between your 3PL, your E-commerce store, and your customers.

30 years of hands-on experience — professional kitchen under pressure, Hermès internal supply chain, business management.

**My role**: ensuring every order reaches its destination, your stocks are accurate, and your issues are resolved before your customers notice.


What I do concretely each week:
  • Daily monitoring of flows and immediate resolution of anomalies (invalid addresses, blocked payments, duplicates)
  • Reconciliation of Shopify vs. 3PL stocks — detection and correction of discrepancies
  • Direct coordination with your logistics provider
  • Returns management — decision, tracking, stock update
  • Structured weekly report: flow status, interpretation, recommendations

What you gain: a responsive, available operational manager who knows your business — without the constraints of an employee.

My background: 30 years of hands-on experience, including 15 years managing restaurants and 8 years as a business owner. I've managed stocks under pressure, overseen suppliers, anticipated shortages, and maintained margins — in real-world conditions, with teams and external partners.

Managing the operations of an e-commerce brand is exactly the same logic. The difference: we manage packages, not plates.

What can be measured can be interpreted and improved.
