I run ColdBru, a Spec-Ops growth team that takes over when the fastest growing DTC brands hit a plateau. We're best in class at identifying and executing on growth hacks to maximize scale and ROI. I also invest and advise in the DTC space.

I've tested every SaaS tool on the market, and have identified the most effective ones that help DTC brands scale-- so I work closely with their founders both as an advisor and investor to test, iterate and optimize their platforms.

How I Do it

I take a first principles approach, with no B.S. Seeing the inner workings of hundreds of businesses has given me a sixth sense for what works, what doesn't, and why. Growth is an art form I aim to perfect, so I'm obsessed with finding alpha in subtle intricacies of strategy. That nuance is unimportant early on but prevents death by a thousand cuts as you scale aggressively.

“I jumped into building my start-up head first, doing everything manually, but thankfully I was connected with Ben. He helped me save time and money by providing guidance, that helped me avoid typical early-stage pitfalls. He is extremely efficient in suggesting and delivering creative solutions. Ben just doesn’t get stumped! He knows all the best automation and marketing tools, is well-connected, and provides highly valued advice. I’ve asked to clone him, but no luck yet.”

About Me

About Me

About Me

Growth is my true north. With over a decade in the game, I’ve worn many hats: I’ve acted as a Head of Product at Nectar Mattress ($1B+ revenue); served as the only growth resource at multiple blitz-scaling DTC tele-health brands; GMing Awara from 0 to 8 figures; and helped Hexclad scale from mid 8 to 9-figure DTC revenue; I’ve developed keen insights into the patterns that enable 8 and 9-figure brands to grow. I founded ColdBru, a fractional growth team, with a singular focus: to drive game-changing results by unlocking hidden brand potential. Leveraging a blend of strategic flair, speed, and precision, I help brands scale their contribution margin and claim their leadership in their respective industries. Innovation is my second nature; I'm the guy who meshes together unconventional tools and techniques to discover fresh growth avenues. ColdBru serves as both a business and a laboratory for testing out my wilder growth theories. I'm wired to tackle new brand challenges and would feel stifled without them. When I'm not orchestrating growth, I recharge through travel, literature, and physical fitness.

“Getting my brand out there was a real struggle at first. I had a hard time targeting the right audiences. I was finding contact information for potential leads through good-old fashioned google searches before I brought Ben on board. Ben quickly understood what I needed and took over. I got to finally take a step back and breath as someone who understood the inner workings of facebook ads, cold email strategy, and lead generation grew my brand higher than I could have ever imagined.”
