Description

Alex Reed co-founded cleaning startup Truman’s following more than a decade at fan and light manufacturer Big Ass Fans, where he led an expansive marketing division that helped the company grow from $30 million in annual sales to more than $250 million.
With his innovative approaches, the company’s number of new customers increased nearly  40 percent annually. At the same time, customer loyalty became  so strong that repeat business  accounted for half of all orders. 
Beyond marketing, Alex always pushed the company’s evolution and oversaw its expansion  beyond a business-to-business strategy to business-to-consumer with the 2012 debut of Haiku, the first Big Ass Fan for homes. Within three years, the product developed into a full smart home division and achieved more than $50 million in sales.
After helping guide the company’s sale in 2017 for $500 million,  Alex sought a new challenge  and co-founded Truman’s with  Big Ass Fans Chief Operating  Officer Jon Bostock. The pair aims to upend the staid cleaning  industry with the belief that cleaning should be green, simple, convenient and cost less.

Nexus PMG welcomes you to the Bigger Than Us™ podcast, which we, as energy geeks lovingly refer to as the BTU. Bigger Than Us is a podcast that focuses on ideas that will shape the future of our planet and ultimately, our existence. We will occasionally lean into energy topics because after all, it’s the key to our collective survival, but we’ll also explore other areas that we believe will have an effect that is Bigger Than Us.
