Founder of Kardashian Kollection & Uncle Bud's (acquired).15+ celebrity brands, $1B+ in retail sales

About me

I’ve built and scaled 15+ brands, generating more than $1 billion in retail sales and achieving three exits. I help founders turn promising products into brands that retailers want to stock and customers come back to buy. Over the last 25 years, I built brands with names including the Kardashians, Heidi Klum, Magic Johnson, Jane Fonda, Janet Jackson, Priscilla Presley and the Missoni family. I built the Kardashian Kollection from an idea to 30,000+ stores across 8+ countries and seven product categories. My hemp skincare brand, Uncle Bud’s, grew 6x, expanded across six categories and was acquired. That experience taught me something I bring to every founder conversation: a famous name or a great product can get you the meeting. It doesn’t get you the reorder. That takes the right positioning, pricing, margins, supply chain and retail execution. Whether you’re developing your first product or growing an established business, I’ll help you work through the questions and decisions you are facing. Straight answers, commercial perspective and lessons from 25 years of building brands. What I can help with: • Turning an idea into a brand that's ready to launch • Building your go-to-market plan before you spend a dollar on inventory • Retail strategy- from pricing and margins to pitching buyers • Growing DTC and digital sales so retail buyers come to you • Celebrity and influencer partnerships that sell product, not just headlines • Scaling production and supply chain without the wheels coming off • Building the right team as you grow • Expanding your brand Internationally • Building an exit strategy / Raising capital • Spotting the costly mistakes I've seen sink good brands, before they sink yours.
