Romulus Brand Management

Experience
Over the course of my career in the CPG industry, I’ve encountered countless brands with great products and passionate founders — yet many struggled to gain traction or scale in a crowded and competitive market.
​
I saw this pattern play out all too often. Great ideas would fall short — not because of the product, but due to a lack of guidance, experience, strategic positioning, or the right retail relationships.
​
That’s exactly why I founded Romulus Brand Management.
Let me be clear: I’m not just a broker or consultant — that’s not where my value lies.
​
Romulus was designed to function in fractional roles tailored to a brand’s unique needs — whether that’s building go-to-market strategy, securing distribution, engaging retail buyers, or managing key retailer and distributor relationships.
