Board Member - Consumer Brands & Retail : Advisory Board

Graphora is an AI-native private-capital platform connecting founders and emerging companies with investors, strategic customers, experienced operators and advisors. We help companies access not only capital, but also the expertise, relationships, customer insight and operating support needed to grow.

Our ecosystem brings together private-market opportunities, syndicated and fund programs, company intelligence, strategic relationships, and advisory and operating opportunities. Advisors contribute their professional judgment and networks to help Graphora and the companies in its ecosystem make better-informed decisions and build meaningful partnerships.

We are seeking experienced consumer-products, retail and brand leaders who can help emerging businesses grow through customer access, distribution and strategic partnerships. This specialty covers personal care, beauty, nutrition, wellness and lifestyle products. Advisors bring insight into brand positioning, retail expansion, merchandising, e-commerce and commercial execution, together with relationships that can help founders reach the right buyers and partners.

A focused network can be more valuable than broad but distant contacts. We are interested in the types of buyers and partners you understand, the commercial challenges you have helped solve and the routes to market where your experience could help an emerging brand.
