Our Leadership Team
Our founder, Ethan McAfee, grew Amify into the top 1% of resellers on Amazon over the past eight years. We’ve taken our extensive knowledge of selling on Amazon to become a complete strategy, management, and operational partner for brands that sell on Amazon Vendor Central and Seller Central.
Our executive team has decades of experience in eCommerce strategy, direct-to-consumer marketing, analytics, and operations. Unlike most agencies, we are led by executives who have run brands and managed P&Ls. We bring that expertise to develop your Amazon growth strategy. Let us help you create an Amazon strategy to maximize your potential on the platform!
Ethan McAfee
Founder & CEO
As CEO and founder of Amify, Ethan McAfee leverages his leadership in the Amazon seller space to drive sales of thousands of products on Amazon for clients. Since he founded Amify in 2010, Amify has executed over $200 million in Amazon sales and worked with over a hundred different brands on the 3P Amazon marketplace. Through this experience, he recognized the need for brands to see Amazon as an extension of their website and an essential part of their business – and grew that knowledge into Amify.
Ethan spent 10 years on Wall Street as a director of research at Ramsey Asset Management and as an associate equity investment analyst for T. Rowe Price. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance from Virginia Tech and an MBA from Johns Hopkins University.

As Chief Marketing Officer, Sean leans on his 10+ years of experience in brand building innovation, digital marketing, e-commerce, general management, and P&L ownership. He was previously a brand manager at powerhouse Procter & Gamble where he co-founded the Zevo Insect DTC product line. Sean’s broad marketing and direct sales background at both startups and Fortune 500 companies make him an asset to both Amify and its customers.
At Zevo, Sean was responsible for identifying the addressable market and product-market fit for the digitally-native brand. As Vice President of Digital Marketing and eCommerce at Pure Romance, Sean built out this business unit from a strategic whitespace area to a high-performing team by leading a digital marketing transformation. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Finance from the University of Cincinnati and an MBA from Xavier University.
