Andrew Nalder
Founder · Shopify Design & Setup
Andrew brings more than two decades of hands-on experience in sales, marketing and entrepreneurship to Sell on Shopify. Over his career he's worked across a wide range of industries — clothing, cars, software, business equipment and character merchandise — and built up a real knack for helping retailers find what makes them unique.
In the late 1990s, Andrew acquired a small digital print business called Dpod, growing it from a $350k operation into an $11 million marketing communications company. After 14 years at the helm he sold Dpod to the Image Centre Group, having transformed it into a full-service creative hub.
Andrew launched Sell on Shopify after a decade of running his own Shopify stores — peddling everything from nappies to kids' fashion to toys. He spent those years learning, in painful real time, what actually works on Shopify and what doesn't, and he now uses that experience to help other NZ retailers skip the mistakes he had to make first.
