Manuel Bleve

Spritzal Cookie Company, LLC 

I’ve spent the last 10 years in the trenches of the CPG world—building Spritzal Cookie Co. from a kitchen-born idea into a nationally distributed brand sold in over 3,000 doors including Costco, Kroger, Publix, Food Lion, and Safeway/Albertsons.

As a self-funded founder, I lead every aspect of the business: brand strategy, product innovation, sales, marketing, retail execution, broker management, and forecasting. I negotiate with major accounts, launch co-branded partnerships, build campaigns from scratch, and bring new products to market with a lean team and zero room for error.

Specialties:
• Brand & Marketing Strategy
• Retail Launch & Expansion
• Shopper Marketing & Trade Spend
• Product Development & Innovation
• Forecasting & P&L Ownership
• Campaign Planning (Digital, Influencer, Retail)
• Cross-functional Leadership
• Broker & Buyer Relations
• Founder-to-Operator Transition
