Executive Assistant to COO & CEO
Executive Assistant to the COO & CEO (Vancouver based)
Pearl West is building the future of consumer brands—fast, focused, and performance-driven. Think mini-Unilever without the bloat of traditional private equity or the stale DTC playbook.
We own and operate six brands across beauty, supplements, sports nutrition, skincare, and pet care, with a combined run rate of $40M+ USD and growing rapidly. Our model: acquire profitable $2M+ EBITDA brands, scale them aggressively, and position them for exit within three years. Our mission is unapologetic: build unforgettable brands and exit them at their peak. Backed by seasoned operators, deep e-commerce expertise, and strong capitalization, we move fast, cut the noise, and execute relentlessly.
If you value clarity over chaos, speed over politics, and results over theater — you belong here.
