Global Leadership. Product People Our global leadership team blends an extensive array of backgrounds and experiences from within the product industry – spanning retail, wholesale, manufacturing, trading and consulting. At our core, however, 5H’s leadership is a group of individuals that love product. It is our background, it is our passion and it is the lens through which we have built our platform, philosophy and values. This point of view is a CRITICAL differentiation between 5H and traditional consulting firms that offer theory-based solutions. Click here to meet our team.

Our global team of nearly fifty employees, however, shares a singular commitment to providing customized client solutions and exceeding client expectations.
Proven Results We define success squarely on our ability to create value for our clients. Whether it is creating value through designing the next great product, value through improving quality, or value through identifying inefficiencies in the supply-chain, our results can be measured and invariably yield a return on investment.
History 5H was co-founded in 2007 by Kevin Lehrer & Jon Allen. Kevin and Jon met while both working for a St. Louis-based product innovation company that designed, manufactured and distributed product under licensing agreements with Swiss Army Victorinox, Callaway Golf, and Timberland. With Jon living in China and Kevin living in the United States, the two entrepreneurs set about to create a global service platform that combined their passion for product design and innovation with their understanding of creating supply-chain value. In the four years since the company launched, 5H has worked with some of the best-known brands, retailers, wholesalers and investment firms in the country.
