I joined Hydrow, the connected fitness rower ($150M+ revenue, 100+ employees) as MD during the dual crunch of Covid pandemic restrictions ending (which had driven exponential-growth) and the private funding market drying up (which had driven investment.) As part of an interim assignment, I drove an overhaul of the D2C acquisition and distribution model which resulted in record profitability, new fundraising, and placed Hydrow as one of the world's top-5 at-home fitness brands by annual recurring revenue.

Along the way, we evaluated and adjusted practices and policies at every stage of the supply chain to become Iceland's first B-Corp. 66˚North's precise numbers are private, but it has 200+ employees and €50 million-€150 million in revenue.
