Scaling with Heart: Ripple Brands Welcomes Brent Noward as President

At Ripple Brands, we believe that the best brands aren’t always the biggest—yet. They’re the ones started by people with heart, grit, and a mission that matters. But when it’s time to grow, even the strongest brands need structure and leadership to reach their full potential.

That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome Brent Noward as President of Ripple Brands—a seasoned leader with a passion for purpose and performance. Brent joins us from Corsa Performance, where he helped build premium consumer brands through innovation, precision, and strong operational strategy. At Ripple, he’ll bring that same expertise to our growing portfolio of purpose-driven companies.

Scaling Brands with Heart

Ripple Brands was founded to solve a common problem: too many purpose-led companies plateau not for lack of heart, but for lack of systems, investment, and support. Our mission is to preserve what makes these brands meaningful while giving them the resources and strategy to scale.

With acquisitions like We Are The Ripple (WATR) and Headbands of Hope, our approach has already proven that purpose and performance can thrive together. Brent’s arrival marks the next chapter—one where our brands can grow faster, reach farther, and make an even greater impact.

“Brent brings the exact balance of discipline and vision we look for at Ripple,” said Craig Kohrs, Co-Founder of Ripple Brands. “His experience driving growth for numerous premium consumer brands, combined with his deep respect for our missions, makes him the perfect leader to accelerate our brands and maximize our impact.”

A Leader Committed to Impact

As President, Brent will lead efforts to expand Ripple’s portfolio, strengthen operational infrastructure, and cultivate high-performing teams—ensuring each brand grows responsibly without losing its soul.

“This is more than scaling businesses—it’s about amplifying impact,” said Brent Noward. “Ripple has built a model that proves doing good and doing well are not only compatible, but mutually reinforcing. I look forward to carrying that torch forward.”

Building a Future Where Doing Good Scales

Ripple Brands’ promise is simple yet bold: scale purpose-driven brands without sacrificing their soul. With Brent Noward joining our leadership team, we’re doubling down on our commitment to grow with integrity, enthusiasm, and heart—creating ripples that move markets and make the world better.
