David Piccinato
CEO and lead developer of Stokkd, based on the Gold Coast, Queensland.
I'm David Piccinato. I run Stokkd, software that retailers use to count stock and manage inventory. I started it in 2016 after more than two decades working in retail, and I still lead its development today.
What I do
At Stokkd I design and build the product, from purchase ordering through to stocktaking, and I look after the business side as well: budgeting, forecasting and the accounts. Most of what I build comes from problems I ran into myself while managing stores, stock and staff.
Where I come from
Before Stokkd I spent 23 years with a Queensland retail group, starting on the shop floor in 1989 and finishing as Administration Manager. In that time I helped open stores across the state, moved the business through several generations of point of sale and accounting systems, and managed the development of its own cloud software for purchase ordering and stocktaking.
