Walking the walk
Created by brand builders for brand builders
ForceBrands began with a founder, Josh Wand, who built his own rum brand and saw what consumer brands were missing: a talent partner who understood growth from the inside. Today, we help build teams that are ready for scale and prepared for the future of work.
Where it started
A founder who faced the stakes himself
Josh Wand launched his own rum brand and was a natural connector, always bringing people together. Through that experience, he identified a crucial gap: no recruiting firm was tailored for consumer founders making high-stakes people decisions. ForceBrands was created to meet that need.
How We've grown
From a niche recruiter to a strategic growth partner
What started as a focused search firm is now a partner for both hiring and people strategy. Under the leadership of our new CEO, Rob Ganjon, we help founders, CEOs, and investors align structure, roles, and readiness. Our work also looks ahead, helping leaders consider the forces reshaping work, including how AI changes the way teams are built and how work gets done.
Brands we've grown with
From first hires to succession plans, we’ve helped category-defining consumer brands build the leadership teams that drive growth.
