From IBM to Agency Founder: Cameron Gomez on Building a Better E-commerce Business
Description
In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we sit down with Cameron Gomez, the founder of MILQ Digital, a boutique Shopify Plus agency. Cam shares his journey from a disillusioned project manager at IBM to co-founding and scaling one of Australia's largest Shopify agencies before embarking on his own entrepreneurial path. He opens up about the philosophy of detaching his ego from the business, viewing it as a "vehicle" that requires the best "fuel" and "driver" to succeed, rather than as a part of his personal identity.
Cam dives deep into the unique model of MILQ Digital, which was born from his experience on both the agency and brand sides of e-commerce. He explains how MILQ challenges the traditional, costly agency retainer model by offering lean, agile development at half the cost of competitors and a revolutionary "limitless" fixed-cost retainer for truly innovative brands. His mission is clear: to empower merchants with autonomy and cost-effective solutions, breaking the cycle of dependency on expensive agency resources.
