Leadership philosophy

“Building a brand first requires building a relationship.”

Brian founded TruLife on a straightforward premise: a brand shouldn't need to open a U.S. office, hire a domestic sales team and learn FDA compliance from scratch in order to sell in America.

He works on every engagement directly. Brands come to TruLife because they want the person who knows the buyers in the room, not a coordinator relaying messages to one.

In his own words

Why I started TruLife.

Brian on what he saw international brands get wrong in the U.S., why he left the family business to build something different, and what he wanted TruLife to be accountable for.

How he works

Three things Brian holds to.

Candour before commitment

If a product isn't ready for U.S. retail, that belongs in the assessment, not after the contract.

Sequence over speed

Compliance, then infrastructure, then buyers. Skipping ahead is why well-funded launches stall.

Publish what we know

The barrier to U.S. retail is relationships and execution, not information.

The rest of the team

Brian is on every engagement. He is not on it alone.

Operations, sales, compliance coordination, marketing and business development — ten people in one office, and the person who evaluated your product is the person in the buyer meeting.
