About Joshua Bauer

I’m an operator and entrepreneur focused on building and scaling high-growth businesses across SaaS and consumer brands. I currently serve as a Director at Braze, where I lead strategic initiatives across delivery operations, partnerships, and cross-functional execution for a global customer base. In parallel, I’m the Co-Founder of Bearfoot BBQ—a first-to-market California BBQ sauce brand built on clean-label ingredients and a differentiated product strategy. I lead brand, go-to-market, and operational execution as we expand retail presence, grow strategic partnerships, and build a scalable foundation for national growth. My background spans marketing, product, client success, and business development, with experience ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 10 organizations. I bring a strong bias toward execution—aligning teams, simplifying operations, and driving measurable growth. I’m particularly interested in opportunities to partner with investors, operators, and brands focused on scaling thoughtfully—whether through strategic partnerships, operational rigor, or differentiated positioning in competitive markets. Core Areas of Focus: • Growth Strategy & Go-To-Market Execution • Operational Scaling & Process Optimization • Strategic Partnerships & Revenue Expansion • Consumer Brand Development (CPG) • SaaS Delivery & Customer Success • Cross-Functional Leadership MBA with an international business focus.
