Andy Gay is the Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Cirkul, the Tampa-based brand transforming how beverages are developed, distributed, and enjoyed. Andy and Co-Founder Garrett Waggoner (CEO) hatched the idea for Cirkul in the college locker room while playing football together at Dartmouth. Frustrated by options like messy drink powders and drops, the teammates sought a better way to flavor, enhance, and personalize their water. Upon graduating from Dartmouth College in 2014 with a degree in Film and Media Studies, Andy worked in retail while he continued to develop and improve Cirkul with Garrett. Cirkul officially launched in 2018 and is now a rapidly growing and profitable company with a $1 billion valuation. Cirkul is answering the call for changing consumer demands in the beverage space and is on a mission to help people drink more water in a more customizable, convenient, delicious, and fun way.
