Scott Kilmartin

Scott Kilmartin is a seasoned principal consultant proficient in advising renowned brands on retail, marketing strategy, export, and logistics. With extensive experience, he has guided major ecommerce rollouts for notable clients including Tennis Australia and L'Oreal.

Scott's journey in ecommerce and retail began in the '90s, building a solid foundation by engaging in activities such as purchasing from Amazon and selling on eBay. He honed his skills through market stalls, physical stores, and online sales well before platforms like Shopify, Magento, and social commerce became mainstream.

Being an early adopter of social media, Scott navigated the shift to online transactions when customers still preferred placing orders via phone due to security concerns. Moreover, he co-founded an agency specializing in developing ecommerce sites for mid-tier brands within the $2-50 million range.

In addition to his consulting role, Scott co-established and oversees the Online Offline event series, showcasing interviews with industry-leading ecommerce, branding, and marketing experts across various consumer-focused sectors.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Scott's adventurous spirit led him to forgo traditional education in his twenties, opting instead to travel around the US, teach canoeing in Canada, and manage hospitality establishments in Southern California. Currently based in Melbourne, Australia, he serves clients locally and internationally while offering guidance to direct-to-consumer (DTC) startups.

Complementing his main ventures, Scott runs an ice cream business featuring multiple carts and a meticulously restored vintage ice cream truck, adding a touch of creativity and nostalgia to his diverse portfolio of activities.
