Experience

Where I've worked

Key roles over fourteen years. Different industries, but each one added a piece of what I do now. Newest first.

The thread

How one led to the next

  1. 2012 Court Documents and statuses: every paper has its place and its deadline.
  2. 2014–2018 Bank and brokerages Money and risk: an unwritten rule sooner or later costs someone money.
  3. 2018–2019 Recruiting and traffic center People and decisions on the fly: read a person in 40 minutes, decide in minutes on half the data.
  4. 2019–2022 Wiel Es The whole business: people, money, deadlines and clients at once.
  5. 2025 — now Gostockup All of it in operations: rules, data, people and money along the order path.

Places I have worked

  1. 2025 — now

    Gostockup

    Head of Operations

    An online grocery in New York. I joined as the fourth person on the team. Inventory, warehouse, shipping to all 50 states and the systems in between.

  2. 2019 — 2022

    Wiel Es

    Founder & CEO

    My own construction company. We renovated schools and kindergartens and worked for large commercial and public clients. At peak, more than 150 people.

  3. 2018 — 2019

    Moscow Traffic Management Center (TsODD)

    Senior specialist, situation center

    The room that watches Moscow's roads live: accidents, jams, traffic lights, cameras, buses. I pulled information from many sources, checked it, wrote situation reports for management and escalated what couldn't wait. You learn to decide in minutes with half the information.

  4. 2018

    Sofeli

    IT recruiter, part-time

    Three months recruiting developers, QA engineers and analysts for client companies, from the first call to the offer. That's where I learned to read a person in a 40-minute interview.

  5. 2017 — 2018

    BCS Financial

    Senior financial advisor

    Worked with private investors: their goals, how much risk they could take, which products fit, and staying with them after the deal.

  6. 2014 — 2017

    Otkritie

    Deputy branch head, financial advisor

    I started in banking operations and worked my way up to deputy head of a branch. Then a year at Otkritie Broker, working with private investors. What stuck: in a bank, every unwritten rule ends up costing someone money.

  7. 2012

    Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region

    Records specialist

    My first job. I kept court case files in order: registering documents, preparing materials for judges and the archive, handling confidential records. That's where I got used to every paper having its own status and its own place.

Gostockup · since February 2025

What I own today

My job is to get a product from a supplier's invoice to a customer's door with the right stock count, the right payment status and a working tracking link.

Procurement

Supplier orders, invoices and payment terms, shipping readiness, dependencies inside containers.

Payment control

Paid, partially paid, overpaid, balance due. Goods move to shipping only after the terms are met.

Warehouse & fulfillment

Order statuses, QR scanning, bin locations, box counts, labels and tracking.

Shipping

FedEx and UPS nationwide, cold-chain packing for perishables, local delivery, pickup, proof of delivery.

Catalog & inventory

~2,500 active products, unit-based stock, retail and wholesale kept separate, returns.

Systems

Requirements and acceptance for Shopify, POS, LodDepot, ShipStation, Zendesk and in-house tools.

I don't write the code or run the ads. In operations I have a mandate from the owners: if a process needs to change, we change it. How to do it in code, marketing and finance is up to the leads of those teams. I set the task, explain why, and sign off on the result together with them.
