Turn Brand Equity Into New Revenue Streams

I have led global partnerships for Newell Brands, Serta Simmons Bedding and Kimberly-Clark. Now I help PE-backed and rapidly scaling consumer brands turn fragmented or untapped partnership potential into focused, profitable growth.

 

BEAM brings clarity, focus, and light to how brands grow.

Your Partnerships Are Costing You Money

Most organizations treat partnerships as side projects, scattered deals, siloed teams, and no one accountable for results.


Partnerships need the same infrastructure rigor as any other revenue stream: compliance systems, royalty tracking, and cross-functional alignment. Without it, you get chaos - duplicate deals, approval bottlenecks, and missed profit.


Agencies deliver projects, but no one owns outcomes.


You don't need more deals. You need a system that turns brand equity into measurable profit across every category and channel.

I Work for You To Drive Your Results

Most consultants hand over a strategy deck and walk away. I embed inside your business to build the infrastructure your partnerships need to deliver measurable growth.


Partnerships aren't "paperwork." They're profit centers and when built with the right operating model, clear approval flows, and data-driven accountability. For growth leaders, partnerships are an underleveraged P&L lever and one that can scale faster than new product development or M&A.


At Newell Brands, I unified fragmented programs across 15+ household brands, increasing profitability by 11% YOY and eliminating redundant spend.


I move fast enough for private-equity timelines but with the structure Fortune 500 governance requires. That's why I take on fewer clients, go deeper, and share ownership of outcomes.

When to Engage with BEAM

I'm typically brought in when:

 

  • PE-backed consumer goods companies are seeking asset-light growth and partnership scalability*

  • Mid-size contract manufacturers are ready to move from supplier to brand builder

  • Rapidly scaling brands (S50M-$500M) need systems and leadership to manage licensing, retail, and co-brand complexity

  • Brand equity is being left on the table because no one has the infrastructure to capture it

BEAM also consults with enterprise brands and entertainment IP owners on partnership strategy, portfolio expansion, and category alignment initiatives.

From Fragmented Partnerships to $30M in Profit Growth

Unstructured partnerships leak profit — I turn that chaos into measurable margin.

From Fragmented Partnerships to Scalable Growth
A global consumer products company had multiple licensing programs operating independently, with overlapping partners and no shared reporting systems.
I designed and led a unified global partnerships model that streamlined governance, standardized compliance, and created measurable accountability.


Key initiatives included:

  • Establishing clear approval authority and service-level agreements

  • Introducing partner scorecards to track revenue, margin, and brand health

  • Automating compliance and royalty reporting

  • Implementing quarterly C-suite business reviews to align on ROI

  • Consolidating vendors to improve efficiency

 

Result: More than $30M in profit growth and a X% reduction in administrative overhead, achieved through stronger alignment, transparency, and disciplined infrastructure.
