Founder-led CPG brands don't fail for lack of ambition. They fail because operations can't keep up. Bridgework CPG closes that gap. Fast.
Most founder-led brands hit a wall between $1M and $10M in revenue. The product is proven. Retail interest is real. But the backend (co-manufacturing, procurement, supply chain, inventory) is held together with spreadsheets and hustle.
That's not a founder failure. That's an operations gap. Bridgework CPG is the embedded partner that closes it.

Ongoing RetainerBridgework CPG is led by Tim Hemminger and Dustin Richardson, two operators with 15+ years each who attack CPG operations the way most firms never do: together. Tim brings the supply chain architecture, procurement execution, co-manufacturing management, and demand planning infrastructure. Dustin brings the financial systems, inventory controls, margin clarity, and reporting frameworks that make operational improvements visible on the P&L. Combined, Bridgework CPG delivers what founder-led brands actually need: operations clarity, systems implementation, supply chain management, financial infrastructure, and when the time comes, a business built and documented well enough to sell. This isn't a consulting engagement. It's the operational backbone most founders never had.
Bridgework CPG is led by Tim Hemminger, a CPG Operations Executive with 15+ years building, leading, and restructuring supply chains inside some of the most complex food and consumer goods environments in the country. Co-founder of Ancient Brands Milling, where he identified a domestic supply gap in puffed grain ingredients and built it into the largest grain puffing facility in the world. Architect of a $350M+ career spend portfolio across procurement, co-manufacturing, logistics, and indirect operations.
You are not a cost center. You are a margin manager. That's the lens Tim brings to every engagement.
Dustin Richardson is the founder of nDepth Consulting, an MBA, and a financial systems operator with 15+ years inside high-growth and inventory-driven businesses. He has served as CFO, financial architect, and systems builder across CPG brands, private equity-backed companies, and multi-channel operators. Named a Woodard Top 50 CAS Practice winner in 2025, Dustin specializes in the infrastructure most founders lack: inventory controls, cost accounting, margin visibility, and the reporting systems that connect financial clarity to operational decisions.
Where Tim builds and manages the supply chain, Dustin makes sure every improvement shows up on the P&L.
