Russell Jay shared thisSTORD We can help...Russell Jay shared thisMaceoo's founder used to fly to his fulfillment center to pick and pack orders himself. Not because he wanted to, but because he had to. It was the only way to make sure his shirts arrived looking like the premium product they are. Mehdi Raad built something genuinely rare: a unique consumer experience embedded into the very fibers of an apparel brand. His luxury menswear brand uses a mathematically-engineered algorithm to perfectly fit clothes for every body type. His Las Vegas flagship includes a barbershop, an ice cream shop, a VIP room, and custom jacket paintings. He has earned an envious roster of clientele that includes Dana White and the UFC. This experience is now embedded into stores across 15 states. That level of brand obsession doesn't stop at the physical store. Raad's standard was clear: the unboxing and fulfillment had to feel the same. The problem was his previous fulfillment setup was not equipped for that kind of demand. Inventory perpetually out of sync with NetSuite. Manual audits just to confirm basic order accuracy. And a delivery experience, a generic brown box, that had nothing to do with the world he'd spent years building. Stord brought the specialized capability Maceoo needed: boutique-quality folding, branded packaging, alongside a native NetSuite integration that finally made inventory data live and reliable across every channel. And we are exploring other ways we can continue to up the experience on every order, every time. Raad put it simply: "The integration was the biggest thing for me. Having everything in one place, where the inventory is live and you don't have to worry about the sync, changed everything." The founder who used to fly out to pack boxes himself now has the headspace to focus on building one of the most distinctive luxury brands in the country. That's what the right operations partner actually does.

Russell Jay reposted thisRussell Jay reposted thisAfter several years helping scale complex operations across distribution, fulfillment, and startup environments, I am ready to explore my next leadership opportunity. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to lead operations in a variety of high-growth and complex environments, from data center logistics startup support and automated distribution launches to large-scale fulfillment operations, helping build infrastructure and operational strategy. As I look ahead, I’m particularly interested in leadership roles focused on: • Operations Leadership • Distribution & Fulfillment • Supply Chain Operations • Data Center Logistics & Support • Multi-Site / Regional Operations If your organization is looking for an experienced operations leader or if you’re aware of teams currently hiring, I would welcome the opportunity to connect and start a conversation. I’m actively exploring the right next opportunity and would appreciate any introductions this network may be able to provide. Grateful for the colleagues, partners, and mentors I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside throughout my career. #operationsleadership #supplychain #logistics #distribution

Elsewhere, the Iran conflict is sending shockwaves through global logistics, disrupting shipping, aluminum supply chains, and cargo flows through the Strait of Hormuz, with ripple effects that show no signs of slowing. https://lnkd.in/eAUQn-A #SupplyChainAI #LogisticsTech #StraitOfHormuz

Russell Jay reposted thisRussell Jay reposted this2,000+ employees worldwide, but Stord still feels small in the right ways. I just wrapped my first week of my new job. While I’m a remote employee, I had the unique opportunity to start in-person at our HQ in Atlanta for a fulfillment center tour and a Product team onsite. (Thanks for the invite, Craig Stewart!) In a world of automated onboarding, these human moments stood out: - The President, Steve Swan, walking up to my desk just to introduce himself unsolicited. - Our CTO and Co-founder, Jacob Boudreau, jumping on Slack to personally coordinate schedules. - A VP, Brad Obert, reaching out to connect on LinkedIn before I’d even sent my first email. - My hiring manager, Alicia Hale, making sure I actually had a desk and lunch on Day 1. - My tour guide, Sydni Brown, waving and greeting warehouse employees with enthusiasm and a smile. - The Office Operations manager, Ash B., graciously answering all of my random questions. Coming back to a fast-paced environment after some time away from an office setting, these small interactions genuinely mean the world. I haven't even started "performing" or "delivering" yet, but the team has already made me feel seen, known, and valued. Cheers to a great first week on this new adventure! 🚀 (Even if the team did have to witness my questionable bowling skills at the outing...🎳) #Stord #CompanyCulture #ProductMarketing #NewBeginnings #SupplyChain #RemoteWork

Russell Jay reposted thisRussell Jay reposted thisICYMI: 🗞️ Stord, an Atlanta-based, $1.5B ecommerce enablement platform powering nearly $10B in annual commerce and a Dynamo Ventures portfolio company, is expanding StordAI to convert fragmented fulfillment and order data into real-time operational intelligence. The update introduces three connected assistants: Chat (conversational ops copilot), Search (context-aware discovery across orders, data, and insights), and Feed (a personalized stream that surfaces risks and opportunities early), all accessible through a single conversational interface across the commerce stack. https://lnkd.in/eAUQn-A #StordAI #EcommerceOps #SupplyChainAI

Russell Jay reposted thisRussell Jay reposted thisModern commerce operators spend their days navigating complexity. 1 SKU can easily turn into 100 variations online. Multiply that by thousands of data points from marketing, sales, customer interactions, and fulfillment - and suddenly you’re dealing with millions of data points moving through a brand’s systems every single day. And in the middle of it all is a constant stream of questions that need answers now. For years, getting those answers meant digging through dashboards, exporting reports, and pulling data from half a dozen systems just to figure out what to do next. A huge portion of an operator’s day wasn’t decision-making, it was gathering information. That’s why we built StordAI with three new intelligent assistants: Chat, Search, and Feed. Chat is a conversational assistant that allows you to ask anything about your business and get instant, data-backed answers. It’s available in beta today and free for all Stord customers. Search is a context-aware discovery engine for any order, any data, any insight. Feed is a personalised intelligence stream that proactively surfaces critical information about your business from one unified view. Both are coming in Q2. Together, they turn enormous volumes of data into something far more useful: 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. Instead of collating data, building reports, or waiting for an analyst to investigate questions like “𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘥?” or “𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺?” - which can take hours or even days - with StordAI, you simply ask. And you get answers in seconds. That time difference matters. When e-commerce moves at the pace it does today, a delayed decision or missed signal can translate into thousands of lost revenue, missed delivery promises, and poor customer experiences. We are effectively eliminating those with StordAI. This is only the beginning of what the future of commerce will look like with Stord. Learn more here: https://www.stord.com/ai

Russell Jay liked thisRussell Jay liked thisFour years ago, I joined Stord with a clear mission: build a best-in-class employee experience in supply chain — an industry that doesn’t always lead with people. We’ve done a lot since then. Real wins. Real growth. A People function that has scaled alongside a company that moves fast and isn’t slowing down. But we’re not done — and this next chapter is where it gets exciting. I’m hiring a Head of HR, Fulfillment to own the people strategy across our fulfillment network. This is a senior, strategic seat — a true partner to our operations leadership. I am looking for someone who has been here before: high-volume, multi-site, fast-moving. Someone who knows what best-in-class looks like. If this resonates with you and you’re ready to build with us, let’s talk. Apply here: https://lnkd.in/eZcf4Xwd

Russell Jay liked thisRussell Jay liked thisExcited to share that I’ve joined Stord as VP of Sales. Six years ago, I happened to sit next to Hoss Mortezaie on a flight. Within minutes, we realized we spoke the same language and worked in the same industry. I’m grateful he stayed in touch and reached out about this opportunity. What energizes me most is the combination of truly customer-centric capabilities and the powerful technology the team is building. I’m especially excited to start spending time at Stord’s expansive facilities and seeing it all in action. Huge thanks to the leadership team and everyone who has already made me feel so welcome. Looking forward to building with an incredible group that’s redefining how modern commerce operates.

It shows just how much Australian ecommerce is evolving and recognising the importance of operations unlocking revenue and profit growth. Huge thank you to Alex Kent Steve Swan Hoss Mortezaie for getting this up and running. Appreciate all the support from Jethro Marks and Dean Salakas as we become the inaugural sponsors of this very important community and event for Australians. The mighty and powerful Huyen Phan has been incredible to pulling all of this together and heading to Vegas to make it all happen!
