About Jason Roche

I operate at the intersection of enterprise strategy and execution. In $1B+ consumer businesses, I’ve partnered with CEOs to shape long-range strategy and build the operating systems that translate ambition into disciplined, scalable growth. My focus is simple: • Clarifying decision rights so teams move faster • Aligning capital and capacity to the priorities that matter most • Reducing friction so innovation and commercialization accelerate, not stall I’ve built revenue platforms from zero to national retail expansion, secured placements across Costco, Target, and Kroger, led capital allocation decisions, and designed adaptive operating models that increase speed, alignment, and financial performance. I’m most effective in growth-stage environments where ambition is strong but execution is strained, and where disciplined agility unlocks the next stage of scale.
