Vancouver is the home office because Vancouver is where the consumer-brand practice was built. Two decades of operating roles inside DTC, CPG, omnichannel and manufacturing — most of them inside companies headquartered between Whistler and Portland — shaped the playbook the rest of the firm now runs against. From this office we lead the inventory-led growth pressure tests, the 13-week cash flow rebuilds, the Shopify-Plus-to-retail transitions, and the sell-side processes for consumer brands in the $5M–$200M revenue band. Most engagements that start in Vancouver involve a brand with a real warehouse, a real customer list, and a real seasonality curve — not a pitch deck. The bench is deepest here for inventory finance, working-capital compression, and the channel-by-channel unit economics work that determines whether wholesale, retail and marketplace expansion actually pay back. Pacific Northwest and Western Canadian founders get the most density of in-person time; the firm also serves California consumer brands through this office given the time-zone and supply-chain overlap. If you operate a consumer brand somewhere between Calgary and Long Beach, this is the office that starts the conversation.
By appointment. We meet at your office, your warehouse, or over video. Vancouver-based partners are on Pacific time and travel weekly across BC, Washington, Oregon and California.
