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
2021 — Present
Built an e-commerce and wholesale distribution company from zero — handling product sourcing, fulfillment logistics, and B2B sales across 200+ SKUs. Designed and deployed the full operational stack: inventory management, automated purchasing, shipping rate auditing, and customer analytics. Scaled to profitability without outside funding.
Founder
CompostClub
2019 — 2021
Launched a residential composting service in Philadelphia, building out route optimization, customer lifecycle management, and the operational playbook from scratch. Grew to hundreds of weekly pickups before pivoting focus to SupplyClub.
Operations & Automation Consultant
Independent
2022 — Present
Advise high-growth startups ($10M–$100M+ revenue) on operations infrastructure, process automation, and systems architecture. Engagements range from warehouse workflow redesigns to full ERP-to-automation pipeline builds using tools like n8n, Airtable, Supabase, and custom integrations.
Supply Chain & Operations Leadership
Various
2015 — 2021
Spent six years in supply chain and operations roles across logistics, distribution, and e-commerce — managing carrier relationships, negotiating freight contracts, and building the reporting systems that informed executive decisions. This is where I learned that most business problems are data problems in disguise.
