North Break Advisory embeds senior DTC leadership into growth-stage Shopify brands.
We focus on the metrics that matter: sustainable revenue, healthy margins, and a brand reputation worth protecting.
No shortcuts. No hacks. Just real operator experience and honest data.
Real growth doesn't come from telling you what you want to hear. It comes from hard, honest conversations about what your business actually needs to scale.
North Break specializes in Shopify brands doing $2M to $20M in revenue that are ready to build for the long term. We don't chase vanity metrics. We focus on unit economics and margin protection. This is the boring, necessary work that turns a project into an asset.
I've spent 15 years operating inside DTC and Shopify brands — not advising from the outside. My background spans hydration, apparel, hospitality, and marketplace commerce, always with full P&L ownership and a mandate to deliver results.
From driving 46% YoY growth and a 5x improvement in MER at Takeya to managing complex Amazon portfolios at Nogin and overseeing $30M operations at Stone Brewing, the through-line is consistent: I own systems, not just channels. I manage the cross-functional reality of your business — the interplay between your P&L, your supply chain, and your digital footprint.
That is the lens every North Break engagement runs through.
I operate by a strict set of principles: margin over vanity volume, brand equity built in lockstep with revenue, and honest conversations that keep your business focused on what actually works.
If you are looking for short-term hacks, I am not your partner. If you are serious about building sustainable growth that lasts, let's talk.
These are the actual frameworks we use to scale our clients. We have opened them up to founders who want to apply our operator-first methodology to their own business. Use them to sharpen your strategy, whether you are currently working with us or building on your own.
If your growth has stalled, your margins are eroding, or you're tired of advisors who tell you what you want to hear — let's talk. Most engagements start with a straight 30-minute conversation. No pitch, no deck. Just an honest look at your business.
