We exist to empower businesses by simplifying and automating order management.
Our Story
Before omni-channel order management services became prevalent, Order Desk was created in response to real people seeking practical solutions to their ecommerce needs, and our mission evolved organically from that. Today we’re proud to be the core of thousands of ecommerce businesses ranging from artists new to on-demand printing, established merchants and suppliers, to internationally recognized brands and celebrities. We believe that the world is most successful when everyone is operating at their best. Every decision at Order Desk is made with that in mind, from the integrations we choose to build, how our pricing model was determined, and the way we find solutions for people who come to us for help. Ecommerce should be accessible to everyone; Order Desk makes that possible.

Adam Walker
Support Lead
A nomad at heart, Adam was born in Jamaica and has been on the go ever since, namely on the lookout for life’s next great chocolate chip cookie. When he’s not in the skies he’s usually down a rabbit hole finding the most obscure facts about an ancient civilization, nose deep in a good book or rummaging through the bins at your local record shop.
Candice Lewis
People Operations Specialist
Candice was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. When she’s not searching for the world’s best talent, you can find her curled up with her Kindle reading every Michael Connelly novel under the sun. She also binge-watches crime documentaries as if her life depended on it. The beach is her happy place!
Cheryl Burke
Senior Support Specialist
Cheryl is from Ireland but has been living in Alberta, Canada, permanently since 2018. She enjoys spending time with dogs, drinking tea, veganizing classic recipes, and thrift shopping. Every few weeks she tries to pass a level in Crash Bandicoot that she’s been stuck on for an embarrassingly long time. Never give up on your dreams!
Dan Schenker
Growth Lead
Dan hails from northern New Jersey, USA and has bagels and pizza flowing through his veins. He’s a strategist, a photographer, a husband and dad. If there is a dog, he’ll never not pet it.
Dan Valenzuela
Developer
Dan is a Southern Californian living in Oregon with his wonderful wife, energetic toddler, and a herd of cats. In his free time he enjoys catching up with his favorite TV shows, reading comic books, and avoiding his large backlog of video games. His main goal in life is to pet a red panda at least once.
Darren Sacapaño
PHP Developer
Darren lives in the Philippines where he spends his free time lifting weights and staring anxiously at Binance charts—praying to the Investment Gods for his cryptocurrencies. He is still trying to figure out if he is the main character or just an NPC. Probably the latter.
David Hollander
Founder
David lives in Idaho with his wife and five kids. When he’s not writing code or answering support tickets, you’ll probably find him looking for bacon or a dog to pat on the head. This photo doesn’t represent the amount of ice cream he’d like to be eating.
Ekin Hordijk
Product Architect
Ekin lives in Izmir, Turkey, but she’s lived in Argentina and Uruguay, and her heart is still in South America. She’s a stereotypical Mediterranean and takes every chance to jump into the sea. She loves traveling, all sorts of musical instruments, regex crosswords, coding challenges and furry huskies!
Evans Njoroge
DevOps Engineer
Evans is a Kenyan who loves all things DevOps and SRE. When he isn’t working he may be spending time with his lovely daughters and wife. He has a taekwondo red belt, loves nature walks, bike riding and cardio exercises.
Fabien Oram
Engineering Lead
Fabien is our UK-born developer currently residing in Tokyo. His free time is mostly spent playing video games, winning plushies at the crane games in the Shinjuku arcades, eating a strict diet of too much junk food and spending time at the gym trying to make up for it.
Félix Adriyel
Senior Developer
Félix Adriyel is a French-Canadian currently living in Québec. A classical violinist turned developer, he likes playing hockey, playing in orchestras and cooking, when not trying to learn all the programming languages. Big fan of science-fiction, he loves physics and futuristic universes.
Gemma Shaw
Head of Partnerships
Gem lives in New Zealand, the land of the long white cloud, many sheep, very costly and slow international postage and only 5 million people. Gem loves to write and talk, and prides herself on her ability to remember random pieces of trivia and information – like your middle name even if she’s not long met you, the number plate of her Dad’s car in 1999 and historical dates. Gem has 3 beautiful children who start each day with vim and vigor – sapped directly from Gem’s reserves. This year Gem is looking forward to saying yes more, and seeing what happens.
Izzy Ogunmola
Senior Support Specialist
Israel, hailing from the bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria, brings a strong commitment to problem-solving to our team. He is driven by a genuine passion for assisting people in navigating the complexities of software, and he finds great satisfaction in helping others succeed. In his free time, Israel finds solace in the enchanting realm of poetry, loses himself in exhilarating video games, and immerses himself in thrilling cinematic experiences. However, it is his unquenchable thirst for exploration that truly defines him. If given the opportunity, Israel would embark on a never-ending adventure, traversing the globe and embracing the awe-inspiring wonders that our world has to offer.
Jamilah Wall
People Operations Lead
Jamilah, our People Ops Lead, was born and raised in Philadelphia. Although she now resides in Amish country, her heart still belongs to the City of Brotherly Love. She finds joy in creating spaces where people can be unapologetically themselves. Outside of work, Jamilah enjoys planning dog-friendly travel itineraries for herself, her partner, and their puppy. If there’s a beautiful view of the water, a quiet spot for reading, and a place for her dog to lay belly up, you’ll find her there!
Kael Cordiolli
Technical Support Specialist
Kael, our resident carioca, can be easily identified by her vibrant giggles and nudging people to come to Brazil. When she isn’t grooving to some metal or samba — or both combined, you’ll surely find her snuggling to the latest feel-good anime or devising a new overpowered RPG combo. Currently holds the record for most tears shed in Ghibli movies (allegedly.)
Madison Schidlowski
Community Engagement Specialist
Besides being obsessed with all things social and community building, I’m a proud cat mom of three, a total bookworm, and a toasted cheese toasty nutjob. Oh, and I have a McDonald’s logo tattoo—because nuggets are life! When I’m not geeking out over content, you’ll find me throwing around weights at the gym.
Matt Thompson
Head of Customer Lifecycle
Matt lives deep down in Middle Earth (New Zealand for those who aren’t in the know) with his wife and two boys. When he isn’t buying computer parts, cooking delicious food, and caring for his monarch caterpillar army he can be found dabbling in some video games.
Michael Devery
Senior Developer
Michael is our semi-ginger Irish man (more of a strawberry blonde really) and spends most of his time eating, and then trying to deal with the excess calories by cycling, running, playing football or hiking. When that gets too tiring you can find him in the cinema, or shut up in a dark room playing some sort of RPG.
Pieter Hordijk
Principal Engineer
Pieter is a flying Dutchman currently living in Izmir, Turkey. When he isn’t working on side projects, he loves making electronic music and playing video games. He loves open source, puppies and all the things Mario!
Trish McCarthy
Knowledge Lead
Trish lives in San Francisco, where they spend far too much time making homemade treats for their dog Velma and testing the limits of what can be created using a hot glue gun and a dream. Other hobbies include hiking, trying not to kill their plants, watching B Horror movies, and playing the theremin very badly.
Yambo Okoth
Technical Trainer
Yambo was born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, also known as the Silicon Savannah. In his free time, he likes to watch anime (sub>dub), play Call of Duty, read novels and fall asleep to Lana Del Rey. He also enjoys traveling the world.
Zain Waheed
Senior Support Specialist
Zain was born in Pakistan and came to Canada at a very young age. British Columbia has been home for Zain the majority of his life. In his free time he enjoys watching, as well as playing basketball. He also loves the outdoors, whether that’s through exploring nature while hiking or watching his favourite Youtuber hike, the latter being the less strenuous activity. Zains favourite animal is a quokka and would love to meet one!
