SKILLS
ABOUT LUKE MATTHEWS
Throughout my career, I have excelled in senior operations roles, driving companies to build and scale their operations effectively. My focus has been on optimizing efficiency and reducing costs as businesses grow. My expertise spans managing business operations, supply chain, sourcing, manufacturing, forecasting, inventory planning, logistics, and customer service. I have worked with several ecommerce brands from their early stages, successfully implementing operational strategies to position them for growth. In 2010, I joined Tommie Copper, a startup developing its first product. Within five years, we achieved revenues exceeding $50 million annually. During that period, I set up and managed manufacturing across four countries and distribution in three. As the company grew rapidly, I negotiated with suppliers, shippers, and distribution centers to leverage our increased volume, significantly reducing costs. Since then, I have worked with several companies, significantly impacting cost reduction and efficiency improvement. At Hurom, I added an East Coast fulfillment center to complement the existing West Coast 3PL, resulting in substantial shipping cost savings and reduced transit times. I also established a new relationship with a return logistics partner, meeting sustainability objectives and enhancing the customer post-purchase experience. Most recently, at Papier, I have supported the company’s US growth plans. I improved relationships with on-demand manufacturing partners, set up their first US fulfillment center, and helped establish a wholesale presence in the US. Having worked as a full-time employee throughout my career, I am now embarking on a new venture as an operations consultant, using my experience to help companies improve operational efficiencies and reduce costs. I invite you to visit my company’s website, opssmartsolutions.com, to learn more about the services I offer and schedule your free consultation.
