Raphael Gross

Raphael brings over two decades of expertise to our investor relations services for consumer brands spanning the restaurant, food and beverage, packaged goods, and wellness sectors. Throughout his career, he has successfully advised companies ahead of and subsequent to their IPOs, as well as through numerous high-profile transactions (M&A, go-private, spinoffs), business partnership announcements and other newsworthy events, in addition to quarterly reporting requirements. He particularly enjoys conducting perception studies and assisting clients with their investor days. 

His client roster has included industry leaders with a wide range of market capitalizations, such as Dutch Bros, Darden Restaurants, Keurig Green Mountain, Wingstop, First Watch, Dave & Buster’s, Benihana, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Beyond Meat, Dunkin’ Brands, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Denny’s, Krispy Kreme, Del Taco, Bojangles, Aurora Cannabis, Jack in the Box, Wendy’s, and Tilray Brands.

Raphael ensures companies make appropriate decisions across their communications by helping them maintain realistic expectations and protect shareholder value. His goal is to strike the right balance between being excessively optimistic and overly cautious. 

Outside of work, Raphael’s number one priority is spending quality time with his wife and four children (who are mostly on their own at this point). He also enjoys following current events, particularly stories about the intersection of business and politics, volunteering in his community and long-distance walking.
