Sean Bisceglia & investor group acquires Product Ventures to build new idea-to-shelf packaging platform
Chicago, Illinois (June 5, 2024) – Sean Bisceglia and the newly formed Product
Ventures Holdings LLC, a group of veteran CPG leaders and advisors, today
announced the acquisition of Product Ventures, a celebrated packaging innovation
agency based in Fairfield, CT. This acquisition marks the exciting first step in the
group’s goal to develop a full-scale, idea-to-shelf packaging solution that will
reimagine how clients go to market.
The group also announces the appointment of Sean Bisceglia, a Chicago
businessman and serial entrepreneur, to the role of CEO. In his sixth tenure as CEO,
Bisceglia will apply his leadership playbook alongside the council and investment
from the industry’s brightest minds to expand Product Ventures’ market impact.
Previously, Sean Bisceglia served as CEO of Curion Insights, where he tripled revenue
and company size in three years.
“We are thrilled to expand on Product Ventures’ legacy of excellence to build a more
comprehensive suite of capabilities, allowing CPG companies to think bigger, design
smarter, and build better shelf brands,” said Bisceglia. “The packaging industry is
currently very siloed, complicating the process of getting great products on shelves.
By seamlessly integrating end-to-end solutions, Product Ventures will better meet the
needs of consumers and fulfill sustainability priorities, all while boosting brand sales
and market share. We’re looking forward to helping some of the world’s largest
brands take their vision from idea to shelf.”
“Our mission has always been to provide our clients with meaningful, memorable,
and innovative brand packaging solutions,” Peter Clarke, the founder and visionary
designer behind Product Ventures states. “The group’s additional investment, expert
leadership, and growth strategy is the natural next step to extend our industry
impact.”
Clarke will retain his title as Founder and play a critical role in shaping Product
Ventures’ future direction and client offerings.
In addition to Sean Bisceglia, Jeff Smith, a seasoned finance executive from
Accenture and most recently VP of Finance of Curion Insights, will join as CFO. The
organization will be building out a robust marketing and client development team in
short order.
