Rose Hamilton

Founder & CEO

The operator behind the strategy.
Cuts through noise, aligns the mission, and shows up in every room that matters.

“I created CRV because I was tired of watching brilliant brands plateau—not from insufficient vision, but from execution paralysis. We exist to eliminate distractions, unify leadership, and catalyze meaningful progress.”

Rose built CRV after decades of seeing what traditional advisory firms missed: execution.

She’s led strategy, marketing, and operations for brands like PetSmart, The Vitamin Shoppe, Nutrafol, and Mend — driving over $1B in revenue and guiding $70M+ in funding raises.

At CRV, she leads with clarity, speed, and deep CPG instinct. She’s the operator behind the strategy — and the first person in the room when the stakes are high.

Eric Vienna

Eric Vienna

Advisor, Creative & Emerging Technology

Creative director, multidisciplinary designer, and AI systems builder exploring what happens when disciplines collide.

Eric works where creative craft and emerging technology converge.

Eric has spent more than two decades working at the intersection of creative, design, technology, and culture.

His career spans advertising, brand systems, digital products, interactive experiences, and emerging technology, working with brands including Ram, Jeep, Harley-Davidson, YouTube TV, and Vail Resorts.

Today, he builds across design craft, creative direction and AI, developing prototypes, tools, agentic systems, and generative experiences that turn emerging technology into tangible ideas.
