    Analyst | Auditor | Ecommerce, Marketing & Business Positioning (Stroudinc)
    Keto Chow May 2019 - Present
    To understand the greatness of Keto Chow and its amazing growth, its critical that you understand Chris and Miriam! They are some of the most amazing founders/owners I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Chris and Miriam’s first introduction to the ketogenic diet was when their oldest son started having seizures. As they followed the medical advice that was given to them, they were introduced to keto as a potential last-ditch effort to treat these seizures if medication was not successful.They finally found a medication that helped their son and all but forgot about the ketogenic diet until years later when Chris decided to lose weight.As they started keto (Chris first and then later Miriam), they quickly realized how effective it was (it was the only thing we tried that had any lasting effect on our health), but it was daunting and time consuming.After perfecting the formula, they found that friends and family were interested in this strangely-named meal. Pretty soon, they were mixing batches in their kitchen and shipping to fellow keto-ers across the country. They loved the taste, they loved that it kept them full, and they loved the way it made them feel and hence, Keto Chow was born! ---I have worked with Keto Chow since 2019. It has been an absolutely amazing journey and ride. Since our engagement the company has experienced millions in revenue growth. As Analyst and Auditor with responsibilities to guide, advise, educate, ideate and network on behalf of Keto Chow, I work closely with their AMAZING Chief Marketing Officer.

    Austin, Tx, Us
    I have worked with Bernie's Best since 2020 and loved this amazing revenue growth experience!! Having Jim Finnigan at the helm has been an absolute joy and allowed us, as a brand, to really stretch our wings and try a variety of unique tactics that have empowered our growth. Bernie’s Best was founded by Jim & Christie Finnigan to address the need for a safe, comprehensive and healthy digestion support supplement for dogs that also makes life better for dog parents. The company’s namesake and motivation is Bernie, their 3-year-old Bernese Mountain dog. After experiencing the benefits of probiotics themselves, Jim and Christie began to serve Bernie a probiotic for his general health. Over time they also added fiber and enzymes supplements to help solve specific digestions issues Bernie was having. Bernie was feeling great, but Jim & Christie became frustrated with the cost, hassle and mess of having to buy and mix multiple single-ingredient digestive supplements. That’s when Jim and Christie decided to create their own comprehensive product that addresses the full spectrum of dog digestions needs into one, easy to use product.Their journey began with hours of research and development in the family kitchen and was fueled by the guidance of Ph.D. veterinary science researchers, formulation gurus and ingredient experts. The result is an optimal combination of natural fibers, prebiotics, probiotics and enzymes that promote healthy digestion, the foundation of a healthier dog.--As a Consultant, Analyst and Auditor with responsibilities to guide, advise, educate, ideate and network on behalf of Bernie's, I work closely with their team. My inputs touch on all advertising channels and all aspects of business development.
