I am a passionate builder of mission-driven brands. I specialize in working with founders as their commercial partner to accelerate their vision and build high-growth brands. As Founding CEO of method, I forged a partnership with the co-founders, and together over 8 years, we built a $100MM wholesale brand that changed the landscape of the industry, and created significant value for investors. Over the last 25 years, I have served as CEO/President with founders in the food, personal care, home decor, household, fragrance and skin-care categories to build lasting and successful brands. I find the mega-trends from one category cross-pollenate insights and innovation to other categories. My areas of specialization and passion are: - building world-class teams and mission-driven cultures in hyper-growth environments - developing impactful innovation models to sustain growth - defining capital-efficient go-to-market strategies characterized by selective but deep partnerships - working with venture, PE and family offices to create capital structures designed to fuel growth and maximize investor returns
