Fulfillment Built by Operators, Not Corporate Layers

Doug co-founded Premium3PL in 2014 and runs its warehouse operations, regularly on the floor with the team. In logistics since 1996, he has spent his career inside fulfillment and distribution centers. At Blockbuster he opened and managed the Salt Lake City by-mail distribution center, then directed four distribution centers, delivering $2.4 million in labor savings with 5S and lean methods. As CEO of Molding Box, a print and fulfillment company, he cut operating costs by more than half and led a software project that expanded order capacity more than twentyfold. At Premium3PL he brings the same discipline to every client's workflow, and clients work with him directly in their shared Slack channels.

Derek co-founded Premium3PL in 2014 and leads its finance, pricing and systems. Over the past year he has led the build of Premium3PL's AI-assisted data platform, which audits carrier charges, produces line-by-line client invoices and models shipping cost package by package. That platform is the financial infrastructure and set of cost levers behind Optimized Nationwide Injection™. It rests on a 30-year finance career: UnitedHealthcare, including an interim CFO role; the LA Kings and Anschutz Entertainment Group; Ernst & Young's Fortune 500 finance-transformation practice; and his own outsourced CFO firm, where he led a sell-side M&A process at a valuation of nearly $400 million. Since 2013 he has helped eCommerce brands generate more than $250 million in revenue.
