Our Backstory
Compass Rose was born from a vision to provide the candid, strategic guidance often missing in the corporate world. Founded by a veteran with over 25 years of experience in building direct-to-consumer businesses, our firm brings a wealth of hands-on knowledge to every client engagement. At Compass Rose, we firmly believe that some of the most valuable lessons in business come from experiences that didn't go as planned. This perspective shapes our approach, encouraging clients to engage in challenging conversations and embrace authentic leadership. We leverage both successes and failures to support clients navigating today's rapidly changing business landscape.
Our advisory style is direct, thoughtful, and strategic, fostering genuine trust and empowering leaders to make bold, informed decisions. We're not just about accolades – we're about facing uncomfortable truths and driving meaningful, transformative results. Like our namesake, we serve as a strategic navigator, guiding ambitious brands through the complex terrain of growth, providing clear direction and purpose in an ever-shifting business landscape.

Embracing AI-Enabled Growth
At Compass Rose, we've integrated AI into our advisory services not because it's trendy, but because it's transformative. We act as your AI translators, working closely with each brand to determine your growth foundation and strategically overlay AI to accelerate growth. Imagine deploying marketing campaigns with pinpoint accuracy, reaching the right audience at the right time with the right message. That's what we do. We're not just number crunchers; we're opportunity spotters, tackling complex challenges with a speed and accuracy that was once the stuff of science fiction.
But here's where we really set ourselves apart: we're your AI interpreters. We take this powerful, often intimidating technology and apply it to amplify what makes your brand uniquely you. Working hand in hand with your team, we ensure that AI enhances your human creativity and your brand’s essence rather than replacing it.
From elevating customer experiences to streamlining operations and driving data-informed decisions, we help you harness AI to propel your brand forward. With Compass Rose by your side, you're not just riding the wave of the future – you're creating the tides that others will follow. Ready to chart a course for unprecedented growth?
