it has appointed logistics veteran Jacob Guilhas as its new VP of
Logistics.
Guilhas is a results-focused management professional with
immense experience in leading a full spectrum of multi-site
business operations in highly competitive, fast-paced, and complex

Director of FedEx Supply Chain. Previously he was Head of Logistics

P&L responsibility at Exel (now DP-DHL), and Regional
Operations Director for Walmart. Across his nearly two decades of
logistics industry experience, Guilhas has established a track

variety of projects including multiple distribution center
“greenfield” start-ups, international operations start-ups, and
long-term strategic planning and brings specialized experience in
coordinating multi-channel operations, complex systems
integrations, safety controls, and continuous improvement.
“Jacob is a great addition to the Goedeker’s team,” said Doug
Moore, CEO of Goedeker’s. “We are working toward handling $150
million of product at cost annually as early as the first quarter
of 2021. I believe Jacob is major asset to expedite our
preparations for significantly increasing order volume and help us
capitalize on untapped opportunities to partner more deeply and in
real-time with the global manufacturers that supply our appliances,
furniture and home goods.”
“I look forward to building on Goedeker’s strong foundation to
create a best-in-class product delivery, service, and installation
operation,” commented Guilhas. “There are immediate opportunities
to improve and expand our relationships with last-mile partners,
which I believe will drive tangible results, including improved
speed to customer, reduced costs, and higher overall customer
satisfaction.”
“We're addressing a $20 billion industry as the only pure-play
appliance online retailer listed on a major exchange,” continued
Moore. “Over the past year, we've been investing in people,
processes, and systems, developing a best-in-class advertising and
marketing platform in order to continue to drive significant
revenue growth, improve our operating margins, while dramatically
expanding our market position. My vision is to grow Goedeker's to a
billion-dollar revenue Company over the next five years, and, in
the process, become the largest, most profitable online retailer of
appliances in the US.”
