FMCG Founder & Growth Partner

Growing
but not quite
winning?

You built a brand people love. You got customers and products onto the shelf. But the business has outgrown the way it's being run.

"I've been in that room — not as a consultant who flies in with a deck, but as someone who's run those P&Ls, sat in those retailer meetings and built those teams."

— Pedro Demartini · Founder, Sunny Days
The Bottleneck

The business is real.
The infrastructure isn't.

There's a stage every growing FMCG brand hits — too big to be scrappy, not yet big enough to have the team and systems the strategy demands. That's where founders get stuck.

A major retailer threatened a deletion

Range reviews come fast. Without a commercial strategy and category story ready, you're reactive — not leading.

The strategy lives in your head

The business waits on you for every major call. If you step back, the business steps back with you.

Growth stopped feeling like winning

Margins under pressure. Costs up. Competitors better funded. The playbook isn't cutting through.

You hit personal capacity

A holiday you can't take. A weekend stolen. A signal you can't ignore.

"We're growing but I'm not winning. I feel like I'm holding the whole thing together with my hands."

What they've already tried
  • Hired agencies that delivered outputs — but no ownership
  • Consultants who handed over a report and disappeared
  • Junior hires who needed managing instead of enabling
  • Tried to do strategy themselves at 10pm on a Sunday
  • Fractional execs who weren't culturally aligned

Framework
