Rose Hamilton on Scaling Consumer Brands Without Breaking Them
In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we’re joined by Rose Hamilton, Founder and CEO of Compass Rose Ventures, a growth advisory firm helping high-potential consumer brands navigate complexity and scale sustainably. Rose shares her journey from leading omnichannel marketing and digital strategy at major brands like PetSmart and Best Buy to working directly with founders when growth slows, systems strain, or leadership clarity begins to break down.
The conversation explores how Compass Rose Ventures operates as a fractional operating partner rather than a traditional agency, embedding deeply within businesses to stabilize foundations before accelerating growth. Rose discusses diagnostics, data-driven decision-making, brand and go-to-market strategy, leadership alignment, and scalable execution across DTC, retail, Amazon, and wholesale channels, while also reflecting on the challenges of scaling advisory businesses and the importance of disciplined leverage, pattern recognition, and building growth without sacrificing culture or long-term resilience.
