Work With Us

For Northern California Founders Ready to Scale.

You've created a product or business you believe in. Now, it's time to get it on the shelf and into the hands of loyal customers. Compass Brand Strategy was built by a founder, for founders. We provide clear, actionable playbooks—forged in the real world of building a $10M+ brand—to help you navigate the critical challenges of growth.

Why a Founder, Not a Consultant?

Because I've actually done it. I didn't just advise from the sidelines; I built a CPG brand from an idea in my van to a $10M+ NorCal icon. The playbooks I teach are the exact ones I used to get Tahoe Blue Vodka into its first 60 BevMo stores. This isn't theory; it's a battle-tested roadmap.
