After serving as the Corporate FP&A lead developing the company’s eCommerce market business case, executive leadership offered me the opportunity to oversee the initial launch and go-to-market strategy of stockd.com, an internally incubated eCommerce start-up within Premier Inc. Initially stockd.com was an eCommerce marketplace developed specifically for buyers and sellers of healthcare products. It quickly became a critical source of PPE to healthcare providers during the Covid pandemic. As the pandemic subsided our strategy shifted, and the platform became a digital sales channel exclusively dedicated to providing Premier’s GPO Members a way to buy Premier’s private label branded medical supplies or purchase discounted products offered for a limited time from our contracted suppliers. I had accountability for shaping the overall eCommerce sales and product strategy as well as managing day-to-day business operations.*Achieved several million dollars in initial gross merchandise value sold through our digital channel during the first fiscal year of operations, which included leading the team through the COVID-19 crisis where we leveraged this sales channel to provide customers with difficult to find and urgently needed personal protective equipment. *Within the first 24 months of operation acquired 140% more suppliers diversifying the marketplace with sellers ranging from niche providers of specialized products to Fortune 500 firms.*Increased average order value by 700% making platform design changes at checkout to enable third party underwriters to provide buyers the ability to finance purchases with a line-of-credit vs. accepting only credit cards.* Rapidly pivoted the business model multiple times to adapt to changing markets and customer needs introducing a drop shipping ecommerce model, focusing exclusively on B2B customers, shifting the platform from an open marketplace to a curated “members only” site, and moving into the adjacent eProcurement market.
