Herbert Barlow
@herbertbarlow
I build brands, growth engines, and go-to-market strategies across international foodtech and hospitality businesses.
What I'm looking for
I've led brand, growth, and product marketing across Fettástica (self-employed) and City Storage Systems, connecting positioning, data, customer insight, and operations to deliver measurable business results.
As co-owner and Marketing Lead at Fettástica, I share accountability for a pizza brand reaching approximately R$4M in annual revenue. I led its São Paulo expansion from location and product through brand, team, and operations, while driving three consecutive years of flagship growth: +42%, +32%, and +21%.
At Otter and Future Foods, I localized product and go-to-market strategy across LATAM, with support for EMEA and APAC. I led rebrands across Brazil, Mexico, and Australia, launched and managed virtual food brands, and grew organic traffic by roughly 60% in six months.
Earlier at Amcham-Brasil, I built data culture, OKRs, dashboards, marketing automation, and a seven-person growth team. I'm most energized by undefined problems: bringing order to messy operations and making brand, product, growth, data, and people move together.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Fettástica is a 9-year-old pizza brand from João Pessoa. As co-owner, I've been co-accountable for the bottom line of an operation that reached ~R$4M in annual revenue. In 2023, I took on shared accountability for the brand's overall results; from 2025, I focused on launching and running our 1st branch in São Paulo, owning the combined bottom line of the flagship and the new operation.

The marketing operation existed, but without structure, metrics, or consistent tracking. I organized that work — attribution, KPIs, and processes — turning scattered data into decisions and growth. Structuring, measuring, and optimizing is the part of the work I enjoy most.

Owned brand identity, positioning, and go-to-market for virtual brands in LATAM. Launched 8+ brands end to end, delivering 700+ orders in the first 3 months for the first brand, and developed pricing strategies.
Future Foods was City Storage Systems' virtual-brands arm, creating delivery-native food brands deployed through local kitchen operators.
