Career
Andrew Hargest
Operator turned builder. I've spent a decade in supply chain and business operations — first running them, then automating them. Today I build the systems, tools, and integrations that let small teams operate like large ones.
Experience
Founder & CEO
SupplyClub
2019 — Present
Built an e-commerce and wholesale distribution company from zero — handling product sourcing, fulfillment logistics, and B2B sales across 10,000+ SKUs. Designed and deployed the full operational stack: inventory management, automated purchasing, shipping rate auditing, and customer analytics. Scaled to profitability without outside funding.
Co-Founder
CompostClub
2023 — Present
Launched a D2C sister company to SupplyClub, focusing on high-quality composting supplies. Built out as as additional node to the SupplyClub network, sharing backed operations and infra.
Operations & Systems Consultant
Independent
2025 — Present
Advising high-growth vc-backed startup (raised $100M+) on operations infrastructure, process automation, and systems architecture. Engagements range from warehouse workflow redesigns to full ERP-to-automation pipeline builds.
Enterprise Sales
Various
2014 — 2019
Spent five years in sales roles in the packaging, wholesale, and distribution industries. Mostly as a manufacturer broker rep managing multi-million dollar accounts while leading outbound sales as well. These roles shaped my understanding of supply chain and logistics. It was here where my love of operational efficiency and excellence was born, and also where I learned that most business problems are data/information problems in disguise.
