Abhi Lokesh
CEO @ Fracture. I built an 8 figure DTC brand from scratch and sold to PE
About
I co-founded Fracture with the mission to reinvent the way the world prints and frames their favorite digital photos. 15 years, 11 million prints, 1.5 million customers, and $130M+ in total sales later, I've been incredibly humbled by the journey. Technically my job title says "CEO" but we all know the real work entails so much more. From customer support to manufacturing to new product development and everything in between, I've had a chance to touch it all and I've learned so much. I'd love to share my experience with you so we can grow together.

Abhi was great! I've been struggling with compensation for my team and he talked me through some great ways I could go about fixing the problems! Really appreciate his time.
