About
Executive Sales Leadership for Consumer Brands
Accelerated Growth Strategies was founded to help product-based consumer brands increase revenue, strengthen retail readiness, and expand distribution with a disciplined strategy and hands-on execution. We partner primarily with U.S.-based brands preparing for national retail growth across big-box, mass-merchant, specialty, wholesale, Amazon, and omnichannel environments. Our work combines executive-level sales leadership with practical implementation to drive measurable results.
Chris Lankford-Grow
Chris Lankford-Grow brings real-world VP-level sales leadership experience across retail, wholesale, national accounts, and growth-stage consumer brands. She has led go-to-market strategy, retail expansion initiatives, and revenue acceleration efforts designed to scale distribution while strengthening internal sales infrastructure.
​
Her approach is grounded in clarity, accountability, and execution. Rather than offering theoretical consulting frameworks, Chris works directly with founders and leadership teams to align strategy, teams, and channels for sustainable revenue growth.
Our Approach
Sustainable growth requires more than distribution expansion. It requires alignment across positioning, pricing, operations, internal systems, and channel strategy. Every engagement begins with clarity — identifying what is scalable, what is stalling progress, and where opportunity exists. From there, we build structured plans designed to improve retail readiness, strengthen execution, and support long-term growth.
Who We Work With
We work with emerging and established consumer brands seeking experienced strategic leadership as they prepare for national retail growth, including big box and specialty channels. Our clients are typically founders, manufacturers, and leadership teams ready to scale revenue with structured guidance and disciplined execution.
