About Bryan Williams
I’m a supply chain and operations leader who builds scalable, cost-efficient hardware and consumer product - from NPI through global fulfillment. I’ve led end-to-end mass production runs that cut BOM costs up to 40%, scaled production 10x+, and delivered Tier-1 manufacturing performance for high-growth companies.

I have worked in soft goods/CPG space, autonomous robotic systems, air purifiers, fitness tech, underwater camera systems, and education CPG hardware across D2C, Amazon, and omnichannel distribution.
