Lara has spent her career on the growth side of brands. She grew up in a family of entrepreneurs and built her own businesses, and as VP of Strategic Sales for MAGIC, COTERIE, and PROJECT, she worked with thousands of brands on how they sell, scale, and win at retail. She also founded THREAD Tradeshow. Today she partners with brands such as Rhode, Armra, Reformation, KITH, and DeLa Calle.
She knows that each category needs different people: a beauty brand’s launch cadence is unlike a beverage brand’s fight for distribution, a wellness brand has to handle claims and community, and a fashion brand still lives by the wholesale calendar.
Her network covers all of them, and she stays close to what top candidates want right now, whether that’s mission, flexibility, equity, or a leader worth following.
Founders hire Lara because she has built teams, led sales teams, and grown businesses herself, and she can tell a candidate who can scale a brand from one who only looks good on paper.

Carlisle speaks fluent CPG: shelf life, slotting fees, co-mans, and the hire that makes or breaks a launch. She helped The Helmsman Group and RegulateCPG take products from concept to commercialization, and she built their 12+ person team across Product Development, FSQA, and Commercialization. Before that, she ran a CPG and manufacturing recruiting desk at a national agency.
