About Hycentra

Enterprise discipline for mid-market commerce

Hycentra is a strategy-first E-commerce and ERP consultancy based in Irvine, California. We bring enterprise-grade rigor — earned at J.P. Morgan, SAP and CLSA — to mid-market companies that feel the pain of broken systems but are too lean to staff a CIO.

In short: Hycentra is led by two principals who spent their careers inside mission-critical enterprise systems — and now bring that same standard to ambitious mid-market businesses. We diagnose the business problem first, then architect the E-commerce and ERP systems that fit, across Odoo, NetSuite, Shopify, Magento, SAP Hybris and Bloomreach.

Two principals, one standard

Founder & Principal Consultant

James is a 20-year IT veteran whose career splits evenly between hands-on software development and strategic business consulting. He built mission-critical financial systems at J.P. Morgan and CLSA, then architected global E-commerce solutions at SAP/Hybris — environments where getting it wrong was not an option.

Today he brings that enterprise-grade discipline to mid-market E-commerce and manufacturing businesses, leading every engagement with the same question: what is the real business problem before we touch any software?

Wesley is an expert in the three pillars of scalable growth — finance, operations and systems — with more than 15 years building the operational backbones that carry companies from tens of millions to billions in revenue, through Series A–D fundraising and IPO readiness.

His experience at Vizio, Crossover Health and ShiftKey ensures every solution Hycentra builds rests on a sound, scalable financial foundation, not just clean code.

How we work

Strategy Before Software isn't a tagline. It's the order of operations.

Most consultancies start by selling you a platform. We start by diagnosing the business problem — the bottleneck, the broken handoff, the manual process that quietly costs you hours every day — and only then architect the system that solves it.

That discipline is why clients bring us in to rescue stalled implementations as often as to build new ones. We've seen what happens when software comes before strategy, and we build to the opposite order.

What we do

One team across the platforms that run modern commerce

From a single source of truth in the back office to a storefront that converts, we implement, integrate and rescue the systems mid-market businesses actually run on.

Let's diagnose the real problem.

Book a no-pressure strategy call. We'll tell you straight whether your systems need a rescue, a rebuild, or just a sharper plan — and what it would take.
