“Traub Capital Partners specializes in building value in consumer companies using its unique combination of investment, strategic, and operational expertise,” said Brian Crosby, Managing Partner with Traub Capital Partners. “We have the strategic vision to see opportunities where others don’t, and the tactical resources to execute on them where others can’t.”
