About Albert Podshivaylov

Albert Podshivaylov is an Account Manager at Goat Consulting, a Minneapolis-based Amazon consulting agency that helps brands and manufacturers sell on Amazon. Albert's background is different from most consultants in the space: he started his own Amazon selling business in 2016 and built it successfully before transitioning into consulting.

That firsthand seller experience is Albert's biggest asset. He understands the challenges of building a brand on Amazon from the ground up, managing inventory and fulfillment, navigating policy changes, and competing in a crowded marketplace. He's had to research his own market gaps, launch his own products, and optimize his own campaigns. That means when he works with clients at Goat Consulting, he's not just reading from a playbook, he's drawing on real experience about what actually works on the platform.

At Goat Consulting, Albert's role is to apply that seller knowledge to account management. He performs routine market research to understand the gaps and opportunities in the market for each of his clients. He works on listing optimization, advertising strategy, and account health to help brands execute the kinds of plays he ran successfully in his own business. He also works across both Seller Central and Vendor Central, so he can understand whether a client's strategy should lean toward one channel or span both.

Before transitioning to Goat Consulting, Albert had already proven what he could do on Amazon. He built, grew, and then exited his own selling business to focus on helping other brands navigate the same marketplace he knows so well. That experience from startup to exit translates into a practical, grounded approach to solving problems for clients.
