Cultural Anthropologist. Strategy consultant. Consumer packaged goods expert. www.premiumgrowthsolutions.com I’m here to democratize access to best practices in early stage brand growth. BigCo paid me a lot to learn this stuff, but I don’t think they should have a monopoly on it. If I can get drugged, abducted and robbed two days after arriving in India AND still spend three more years there...you can definitely scale your fledgling brand. I know you can. My business career began nearly twenty years ago. I began in ethnographic field research, moved to market research and then to strategy consulting for emerging and established brands. I've worked with Whole Foods as well as major public food and beverage companies like General Mills, Kraft, Coca-Cola and Hersheys. I've also helped founders such as Peatos, Rebel ice cream, Mother Kombucha, Bobby Sue's Nuts to name a few. I blend the best of traditional CPG wisdom with the unique best practices required to scale small brands to nine figures.
