Prime Talk - eCommerce Podcast

In this Prime Talk Podcast Video Sponsored by GETIDA – Dwight Moore - CEO of Tradeport - A leading eCommerce reverse logistics company, shares his life's journey into eCommerce.

Dwight grew up in Greenwich, Rhode Island with a passion for sports, athletics, and sailing. He studied mechanical engineering at Union College in Schenectady, New York where his grandfather was actually the mayor of the town and graduated in 1984.

After graduation, he was supposed to go to the Nuclear Navy to be a captain of a submarine but ended up going to work for General Electric (GE). He worked for GE for 8 years and got some valuable business experience. He then went to work for Lockheed Martin in the aerospace industry mainly in manufacturing. The next station for Dwight was managing the manufacturing for National Cash Register Corporation (NCR) which manufactures ATM machines and Point of Sales systems.

Dwight left an executive position with NCR (a public company) to work for a startup company called NTS, and took a one-third cut in pay, so he can lead the company to new heights. During the next 15 years, Dwight became the CEO of the company, it went through an IPO in 2003, grew ten times, generated over $400 million in sales, and eventually made an exit and sold for $410 Million to a Private Equity firm.

After a short period of being retired, his entrepreneurial bug led Dwight to found his own private equity firm called Echelon Partners. He is now the president of Echelon and the CEO of TradePort which is a portfolio investment for Echelon. Dwight and TradePort are heavily focused on helping eCommerce companies solve reverse logistics challenges. This includes marketplace returns such as Amazon FBA removals, product inspections, refurbishing, inventory liquidations, and much more.
