About Jason Bronstad

Scaling High-Growth CPG | CEO | Culture Builder | Board Partner I believe great companies are built when strategy, culture, and execution move in lockstep. Strategy sets the direction, but people carry it forward — and culture determines how far it goes. As CEO of MALK Organics, I’ve helped lead the evolution from a 6-person, purpose-led startup into a 36-person,$100M+ clean-label CPG brand. Since 2020, our team has:• Grown topline revenue 9x and net revenue 10x, while building a sustainably profitable business.• Expanded distribution from 1,250 → stores, including breakout growth across Publix, Kroger, Albertsons, and Costco.• Delivered ~5x SKU velocity growth with our top retail partner.• Successfully expanded into new categories including shelf-stable products and creamers, strengthening consumer reach and shelf presence. • Raised three successful capital rounds in four years, working closely with our board and investors.• Built a culture recognized as a 3× Inc. honoree and Inc. Best Workplaces 2024. Before MALK, I helped scale brands across food and beverage as President of Mighty Swell, GM of Michael Angelo’s, and VP of Sales at Mike’s Hard Lemonade, leading teams through category expansion, pricing pivots, supply chain realignment, and high-impact team growth.I’m energized by brands that stand for something greater — businesses that earn consumer trust through transparency, performance, and purpose. Whether scaling growth-stage CPG or guiding established companies toward cultural and commercial renewal, my focus remains the same: align strategy, execution, and culture to unlock enduring growth.Scaling a company is rarely linear. It’s part strategy, part execution, and part learning how to lead people through constant change. I’m most energized in the messy middle of growth — when teams are building systems, solving hard problems, and turning early momentum into something durable and scalable.Because leadership isn’t only about the company you build — it’s about the life you build alongside it.I’m a front-row dad, husband, and CEO — in that order.And I believe the best companies prove you don’t have to choose between building a great business and being fully present in the life you’re building around it.
