There is a growing demand for fractional executive support by SMB (small to medium businesses). Thankfully video communication and business technologies have evolved, enabling corporately trained executives to provide best-in-class leadership to SMB’s. This new gig economy has created a win-win opportunity aligning the supply of highly skilled executives with the demand of small business owners and budding entrepreneurs.

Jeremiah Wanzell
Founder & Fractional Chief Growth Officer, Growth Mindset Advisors
Let’s cut to the chase: scaling a consumer products brand in today’s brutal market takes more than grit—it takes a growth mindset and a battle-tested strategy. I’m Jeremiah Wanzell, and I founded Growth Mindset Advisors to help consumer-sector SMBs like yours break through plateaus and dominate their niche. My mission? Pay it forward by turning my 20+ years of corporate, startup, and private equity wins into your revenue rocket fuel.
I’m a dynamic growth executive (i.e., Chief Growth Officer, Operating Partner) with a proven track record of scaling businesses from $50M to $225M—driving $1B+ in consumer product sales for global giants like Hugo Boss and Calvin Klein. From omnichannel distribution (DTC to wholesale to owned retail) I’ve led growth strategies across sales, marketing, & product development with full P&L responsibility. I also work hand-in-hand with private equity firms, conducting due diligence to uncover hidden risks and spearheading value creation strategies that boosted EBITDA by 30%—positioning PortCos for high-multiple exits. Product category? Doesn’t matter. What matters is product-market fit and a culture wired for growth—if you’ve got the bones, I’ll build the muscle to accelerate your revenue to the next level.
Beyond the corporate grind, I’ve been in the trenches as Chief Growth Officer at Windpact Inc., where I pivoted a startup from a product play to a digital SaaS model, raised millions in capital, and earned a spot in Morgan Stanley’s Multicultural Innovation Lab (one of nine out of 500 applicants). I’ve got the scars—and the wins—to prove I can deliver.
Skilled at bridging small to medium sized brands to large-cap best practices, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to craft strategies that don’t just sound good—they work. Oh, and a fun fact: I’m a former Paratrooper who joined the Army Reserves to fund my business degree from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. Yep, I’ve jumped out of perfectly good airplanes—it’s the kind of bold I bring to your growth game.
Ready to stop spinning your wheels and start scaling like a beast? Let’s talk.
