Tom Kobayashi

I've spent 20 years on both sides of the POP display business — supplier and brand. That dual perspective means I see the gaps, miscommunications, and delays before they happen, and I know exactly how to fix them.

I help CPG brands and display suppliers work better together, bringing programs to market on time, on budget, and on-brand.
