Jason P.

Professional background

I’m an operator turned investor with 17+ years of global leadership experience building and scaling manufacturing, supply chain, and consumer product companies across North America, Europe, and Australia. My career began on the Navy flight deck, where I learned that honor, courage, and commitment are more than values—they’re the foundation of trust and execution under pressure.

Since then, I’ve led multi-site operations with $130M+ P&L oversight, directed M&A integrations and greenfield expansions, and guided organizations through periods of rapid growth, transformation, and change. As Vice President of Operations at Rogue Ales & Spirits, I streamlined supply chains, reduced costs while strengthening culture, and implemented ERP/MRP systems to enable data-driven decision-making. Earlier, as Group Brewmaster at BrewDog, I oversaw international expansion and operational scaling across four continents.

As an investor, I bring the same builder’s mindset. I look for mission-driven founders who are creating durable companies—teams solving meaningful problems, balancing innovation with operational discipline, and cultivating resilient cultures. My investment lens is informed by my CliftonStrengths (Restorative, Strategic, Achiever), executive aptitude assessments (top percentile in abstract reasoning), and a leadership philosophy rooted in building the right conditions for growth: “If the crop doesn’t grow, don’t blame the crop—fix the soil.”

I’m particularly drawn to opportunities in advanced manufacturing, clean tech, functional foods, and purpose-driven consumer brands. Beyond capital, I offer operators the benefit of my experience in scaling teams, navigating complexity, and building systems that last.
