Doug Bouton is the former President & COO at Halo Top (and current CEO of Halo Top International). Halo Top invented the better-for-you ice cream category (and in doing so, reinvented ice cream altogether) by offering a delicious, low-calorie alternative. The company scaled to $100M+ in revenue before being acquired by Wells Enterprises in 2019, all without raising any institutional capital (the company simply raised a small friends & family round).
In this episode of Reformers, Doug shares some of the topics covered include why product is king, methods for optimizing working capital cycles, and his belief that experience is overrated.
