Nihil Kumar
Global Brand Consultant, Design Architect, Business Advisor
Most brands look like everyone else. Not because the founder lacked vision, but because the brand was built on aesthetics and trends, not psychology and function. That’s the problem I fix. I’m Nihil, Global Brand Psychologist, Consultant, and GTM Advisor. I help founders build brands that don’t just look good. They think, speak, and sell. My approach isn’t marketing. I use cognitive science applied to brand architecture. How does your audience perceive, remember, and choose you?

Brad Hayden is a Fractional Chief Revenue Officer and Community Builder with over 20 years of experience scaling revenue operations, go-to-market strategy, and cross-functional sales teams inside some of the most demanding retail, technology, and consumer environments in the world. His career spans Dell Technologies, Amazon, Herjavec Group, and Startups, and today he channels that enterprise-grade discipline into Silver Sharps, the fractional GTM and RevOps studio he founded to give growth-stage companies and nonprofits access to senior revenue leadership.
Ian Adams
Executive Creative Director & Founder
I spent 18 years leading creative for global brands focused on helping founders and leadership teams turn strategy into execution, and execution into measurable outcomes. The work taught me to think long-term, build systems that scale, and stay close to what actually moves a business forward. It also showed me how often founders carry the weight alone. The sofa is my answer to that. A comfortable place to sit with uncomfortable questions, get real answers, and build a brand that supports the future you want.
