Krishna helps founders build enduring brands.

Over the past 20 years, as both an operator and an advisor, I’ve worked with founders to build brands with enduring cultural relevance and commercial success.

I've led complex commercial turnarounds at Fortune 500 companies, and I've helped founders scale brands from hundreds of millions in revenue to billions​.

I created NKHL with a simple goal: to significantly increase founders’ odds of building a profitable, enduring brand. My core belief is that advisory support needs to be delivered with a long-term perspective.

"Growth is a result of having two strong approaches — the art of it and the science of it. We don't blend art and science. If you blend, you get mush. We toggle."
