Gene Detroyer

Most simply, Gene Detroyer makes things happen. He has been a business builder his entire career. Now, coming off the sale of his second entrepreneurial venture, he is advising, consulting and motivating a range of clients both in the U.S. and internationally.

His traditional experience includes 17 years marketing consumer products through food, mass and drug channels. He is credited with building new businesses now worth over $400 million. A traditional career went out the window with his first start-up; putting TVs in supermarket aisles and putting advertising on them, which was merged into NBC. He has had consulting gigs with Coca Cola, companies like HSN wishing to bring their products to retail and start-ups. His second entrepreneurial venture brought the Today® Contraceptive Sponge back to market in the U.S., which included navigating all the FDA hurdles. Beyond consumer products, he is Professor of Entrepreneurship and Business Strategy at The European School of Economics.  He also teaches at the Weller International Business School in paris, France.
