I'm not here to change everything. Learn how things run, back the team's priorities, keep what works and add value where the numbers say it counts.
What I'd measure
Your scorecard comes first. I'd learn the numbers the team already runs and report against them. 99 Bikes trades on Shopify, where I've spent 10 years, including almost a decade working closely with Shopify Partners and agencies. I can read the numbers quickly, know what sits behind them, and work well with the partners who build and support the store. These are the questions I'd keep asking.
Five areas I'd measure, the question behind each, and why it matters
| Area | The question I'd keep asking | Why it matters |
| Profitable growth | Are we growing online sales without giving away margin? | Online should add profit to the business, not just turnover. |
| Customers | Are we winning new riders and bringing them back? | Riders return for parts, gear and their next bike. Loyalty compounds. |
| Conversion and experience | Can riders find the right bike, size and price, and buy with confidence? | A bike is a considered purchase. Clarity and speed earn the sale. |
| Range and product data | Is the range online accurate, complete and in stock? | Good product data sits under search, conversion and returns. |
| Stores and online | Is online helping the stores, and the stores helping online? | Customers don't see channels. They see one 99 Bikes. |
Which numbers matter most, and when, is the Head of Ecommerce's call. I'd bring the questions, the experience and the work.
