About

I’m a tech founder building powerful software for the global eCommerce supply chain. As founder of The Despatch Company, I lead the development of smart, scalable platforms that power delivery, channels, returns, and warehouse operations for online retailers. We don’t ship parcels, we build the software that makes fulfilment seamless. Our solutions are trusted by retailers, couriers, and tech partners to simplify complexity, automate workflows, and scale fast, often live in days, not months. Everything we build follows one simple rule: it should just work. I started out in a warehouse, coding tools to fix real operational bottlenecks. That hands-on experience, paired with a background in teaching and consultancy, lets me tackle logistics problems from the ground up and the top down.
