WHO AM I?

I'm Brandon.

For the last 7 years I was the founder and CEO of Clyde. Clyde helps brands launch, manage, and scale their own insurance and warranty programs. I started Clyde without prior experience in ecommerce or insurance and learned a ton about what works (and what doesn't) when scaling a business.

We raised $50M from top VCs, hired 100+ people, launched countless SMBs, hundreds of mid-market, and 10s of major enterprise brands (from Dyson to The Real Real). We sold Clyde in 2023 with 3 product lines, thousands of merchant partners, and many strategic partnerships (from Shopify Plus to Affirm to AIG).

When I'm not working I'm skiing, surfing, climbing, taking photos, traveling to very off the beaten path places, listening to music, biking around, hiking with my dog, and spending time with my family. I live by the phrase: "Be sincere, not serious" - Every.

WHAT AM I DOING?

Product, GTM, and business strategy: development and execution

I’m working with VCs, studios, C-suites, product teams, and GTM orgs to develop and implement product, business, and GTM strategy. I'm consulting while I take some time off and explore my next move.

Where I thrive:

Product Strategy

At Clyde we developed three individual product lines. I led an amazing team developing their design, GTM strategy, product marketing and positioning, and marketing content. I was often in the weeds with my team designing and building content while also leading the product, engineering, and design orgs themselves.

Business Strategy

My c-suite and I developed 1-3-5 year plans and executed on them, working with CFOs, board members, outside counsel, and team members to collect feedback, board level approvals, and ultimately buy-in to the vision from the c-suite to the rest of the organization.

GTM Strategy and Support

I have experience leading large and small sales organizations. My team and I hired countless ICs for SMB, MM, and Enterprise sales, and hired numerous sales leaders. I love being a GTM player/coach, listening to, educating, and guiding the team, while always giving feedback to product to iterate on what our customers need most.

UX/UI + Visual Design

I’ve led the design and development of multiple products lines and re-brands. From research to design to leading of designers and developers – I love learning from experts and becoming on myself in-order to deliver the best product to our customers. I am a firm believer that "best product wins".
