CEO and Founder

Damian Polak is the Founder and CEO of Archer Logistix, a reverse logistics and liquidation company helping brands, manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and 3PLs recover maximum value from excess, returned, and distressed inventory. After earning his Accounting degree from DePaul University, Damian began his entrepreneurial journey in 2020 with Nice Find Wholesale, originally inspired by franchising bin stores. As the business evolved, so did its mission, expanding from retail into wholesale liquidation, reverse logistics, and asset recovery, leading to the creation of Archer Logistix in 2025.

Today, Damian and his team work with organizations of all sizes to develop customized strategies that maximize recovery on excess inventory while reducing operational burdens and keeping usable products in circulation. His experience spans customer returns, closeouts, overstock, reverse logistics, freight recovery, and secondary market distribution.

Beyond Archer Logistix, Damian is active in advancing the liquidation and reverse logistics industry. He serves on the ASD Market Week Reverse Logistics Board, is a partner with All Things Circular, a reverse logistics advisory platform focused on education and collaboration, and serves as Sales Director for WHSL Market Week in Louisville, Kentucky, connecting buyers, sellers, and industry leaders.

Damian is also passionate about education and community, sharing knowledge through podcasts, events, and online communities to support the next generation of liquidators and reverse logistics professionals. His philosophy: create solutions where everybody wins, combining transparency, urgency, and long term partnerships to turn inventory challenges into opportunities.

The Kid Who Learned to Figure It Out

I moved here from Poland when I was nine years old. My last name, Polak, is literally Polish for "Polish man." Nobody hands you a manual on how to start a new life in a new country at nine, so you figure it out. That resourcefulness stuck.

By 7th grade I was buying stuff for a couple bucks at garage sales and reselling it on eBay for twenty. Once I realized that actually worked, it was off to the races. I built my first company, Nice Find Wholesale, in my early twenties, ran it for years, and eventually closed it down when it was time for something new.

I’m also a partner in All Things Circular, a reverse logistics and circularity advisory firm alongside Rich Bulier, Peter Evans, and Vic Darcy. We help brands fix their returns process from the corporate side, and then Archer handles the actual liquidation on the ground.

I wear a lot of hats. All of them come back to the same thing, getting rid of stuff nobody else wants to deal with, and making sure everybody gets paid along the way.
