Rick
Sauls.

25 years at the intersection of retail, technology, and eCommerce.

I started as a software developer at Walmart, building and leading Warehouse Management Systems across 27 distribution centers during a period of 5× network growth. That work taught me how enterprise-scale operations actually function — and where they break. I later moved into Merchandise Planning, managing budgeting, analysis, and promotional planning across a $3.2B food category.

From there I moved into agency work, where Walmart was my first client — leading innovation initiatives through technology across Global Business Process, HR Training, and Merchandise Operations. I then shifted into data management and BI for Tier 1 CPGs including Coca-Cola and Johnson & Johnson, building data pipelines, dashboards, and reporting from Walmart data that turned raw retailer data into actionable intelligence for some of the world's largest brands.

I co-founded and exited two Amazon-focused companies: OmniiX, one of Amazon's first certified agency partners, acquired within six years — and chargeguard, a tech-first deductions management platform that recovered millions in chargebacks for vendors, also acquired.

Now I work in the retail, eCommerce, and AI spaces — helping brands modernize operations and build the systems that create durable competitive advantage.
