Brand Operations, Sales Operations, and Wholesale Support
Oliver Dillard
I’m a San Diego-based sales and operations professional with experience across forecasting, inventory flow, account support, vendor coordination, and cross-functional execution. In my current role at Acosta, I manage a $115M retail portfolio spanning 40+ businesses across 60+ Costco locations, helping keep product moving, details accurate, and teams aligned in a high-volume environment. Especially interested in opportunities with coastal, outdoor, surf, and lifestyle brands.
What I Do
My work sits at the intersection of sales, operations, and execution. A lot of what I do comes down to keeping moving pieces organized, making sure the details are right, solving issues quickly, and helping different teams stay aligned when things get busy.
I’ve spent the last several years working in fast-paced environments where forecasting, inventory planning, purchase order accuracy, vendor coordination, and follow-through all matter. I like being the person who can bring structure, clarity, and steady execution when there are a lot of variables in play.

Current Role
At Acosta, I currently manage a $115M retail portfolio spanning 40+ businesses across 60+ Costco locations, supporting account execution, sales performance, and operational alignment in a high-volume wholesale environment. A big part of that role is helping teams stay organized, solving issues before they grow, and making sure the work behind the scenes supports strong execution out in market.
A Few Things That Matter To Me
I’m naturally drawn to brands that feel thoughtful, well-run, and connected to the coastal and outdoor world. Long term, I’m looking for opportunities where I can bring my business-side background into a team that values strong execution, clear communication, and brand alignment.
That’s the kind of work I care about most, and the kind of environment where I feel I can do my best work.
Let’s Connect
I’m always open to good conversations with people working in the coastal, outdoor, surf, and lifestyle brand world.
