While most twelve year olds were playing with LEGO, James McConnell Jr began his ecommerce journey by selling them on Bricklink. Seven years into his adventures in ecommerce, James started using the Amazon marketplace & FBA program for its scalability. He started, like many, in books and retail arbitrage, then scaled into online arbitrage & wholesale.
A master in supply chain management, James graduated Summa Cum
Laude in 2019 with a B.S. in Logistics & Supply Chain Management
from the University of North Texas. Most recently, when everyone
was scrambling for storage space during the pandemic of 2020, James
established Marketplace Prep, a third party logistics company.
James’s early eCommerce experience, self-learning curious mindset,
and intuition has led him to delve into new ventures and challenges
to stay ahead of the industry trends. For fun, he loves learning
new ski building award winning art pieces, and networking with
people to further his business curiosity. In business, his applied
use of process re-engineering, data analytics, algorithm/process
study, has helped him consult, work with, or partner with some of
the largest sellers across many marketplaces. Over the numerous
years in business, James has established himself as an expert in
detailed operational processes, unique to Amazon and other
marketplaces that likely get overlooked by other sellers.
By taking complex concepts and breaking them down into simple,
actionable plans, James has consulted with sellers to help them
understand their business better using data and process improvement
to drive business growth.
