About Jon Katz

I\'m the Chief Marketing Office at Cornbread Hemp, one of the fastest growing CPG brands in America. What started an advisory role back in 2019 turned into a Fractional CMO role 5 years later, and has culminated in joining full time in September 2025. I\'m also the Co-Creator of Circle Forward — a business operating system and OKR replacement, purpose-built for early-stage, high-growth startups navigating the chaos from Seed to Series A. We help early-stage founders deliver on annual targets so they can reach key milestones to raise their next round without wasting time and money.My career spans 15+ years across NYC, Austin, and Florida as a 3X CMO and SVP of Marketing for high-growth startups. I’ve launched brands from scratch, scaled teams, built revenue engines, and now — I help others do the same.If you\'re a founder navigating growth and craving structure, I\'d love to talk.
