About Leo Comino, eCommerce Consultant

Leo Comino is an Australian eCommerce consultant and the founder of LION Digital. He started his retail career at 14 and has spent nearly two decades in eCommerce, platform management, digital marketing and operations, working with brands including R.M.Williams, Helly Hansen, Nutrition Warehouse, Decathlon and L’Oréal. He advises established brands on growth, platform selection and international expansion, then hands execution to LION’s specialist departments.

Built On The Shop Floor, Not In A Boardroom

Leo grew up in his family’s Mitre 10 hardware store and started his retail career at 14. Long before eCommerce, the job was the one your brand faces today: the right product, at the right price, in front of the right customer, with a team that can execute. That grounding is why his advice always comes with a plan your team can act on.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should an established brand bring in an eCommerce consultant?

Usually before a decision that’s expensive to reverse: a replatform, a new market, a change of agency, or a growth plateau nobody can explain. An outside view from someone who has made those calls before helps you get the order and priorities right.

Can Leo help us choose or migrate platforms?

Yes. Leo weighs your product range, audience, budget, growth plans, integrations and need for customisation, then guides the migration. LION is a Shopify Plus Partner and a Klaviyo Master Elite Partner, and also works with BigCommerce and Magento.

Can Leo help us expand internationally?

Yes. Leo helps you plan for local laws, tax, logistics, currency, customer research and competitors. LION works with brands across Australia, New Zealand, the USA, the UK and Japan.

Do we have to use LION to put the plan into action?

No. Leo gives honest recommendations on who should execute, whether that’s your own team, LION’s specialist departments or a trusted partner from his network.

Can we meet in person?

Consultations with Leo run online. If you’re in Melbourne and would like to meet face to face, catch up with Nick Mandicos.
