Today The Consumer Packaged Goods Directory (CPGD) makes its first team hire since 2021. The directory started as one of the first online curations of DTC brands, and today it features over 900 brands and has a newsletter subscriber list of 7,000 founders, investors, and builders at leading consumer brands like Coca Cola, Feastables, and OLIPOP. We knew we needed help to manage the level of growth the company has seen over the last two years, and could think of no one better suited for the job than Obvi Co-Founder & CEO Ronak Shah, who will be joining us as a Strategic Advisor.
Ron's fascination with the CPG industry kicked off during his journey to successfully grow his agency, Ghost 3 Media, where they serviced 25+ clients generating $3M+ in agency revenue. After being Featured on Inc. As 1 of 22 High Achievers in the CPG industry, Ron began his journey to build Obvi, in what he hopes to one day be the most iconic brand in the world. Now, Ron serves as CEO of Obvi which is today's fastest growing collagen brand in the industry with 1,000,000+ customers worldwide and sold in over 72+ countries all while profitably generating 8 Figures in top line revenue.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to CPGD’s growth over the last two years. We could not be here without you, and our existence is just a massive testament to the passion that CPG founders have for making the world a better place. We’re excited for this next chapter and the value we know Ron will be able to drive for the brands we work with!
