THE SITUATION

A family-owned traditional food manufacturer — with strong production capacity and steady demand for its staple products — was ready to scale beyond its home market but lacked the GTM framework, distribution network, and brand-building capability to do so. INTIN was brought in as coach, mentor, and operating partner embedded in the founder office to co-own the national expansion.
