This leadership change supports Bryj's goal of empowering marketers to manage full mobile growth cycles without heavy engineering reliance.

Quick Intel

  • Background includes scaling Microsoft Outlook Mobile to nearly 60 million users.
  • Prior roles at Slack and Spendesk (unicorn status).
  • Bryj unifies app building, personalization, and AI advertising for marketers.
  • Platform enables native iOS/Android apps in weeks with AI-driven engagement.
  • Backed by investors highlighting Colgan's mobile scaling expertise.

New Leadership to Accelerate Mobile Innovation

Mobile channels are emerging as primary revenue drivers for brands, with AI reshaping app development and personalization. Bryj addresses this by providing marketers with tools to rapidly build high-performing apps and optimize adoption from a single platform.

Colgan's experience in launching and scaling mobile products aligns with Bryj's focus on marketer-led workflows amid fragmented tools.

CEO Perspective on Mobile Growth Challenges

James Colgan stated: "Marketing teams are under enormous pressure to drive growth on mobile, but they're stuck with fragmented tools and workflows that slow them down. Mobile is becoming the primary revenue channel for consumer brands, and AI is reshaping how apps get built, personalized, and scaled. Bryj brings these worlds together. I'm thrilled to lead the team as we unlock a new era where marketers can build, launch, and grow their apps from one AI-powered platform."

His track record includes growing Microsoft Outlook Mobile significantly and contributing to Slack and Spendesk's expansion.

Investor Confidence in Bryj's Vision

Denis Barrier, Co-Founder & CEO of Cathay Innovation, noted: "Bryj is unifying mobile app creation, engagement, and AI advertising in a way no one else has attempted. With James, who's taken mobile products from zero to tens of millions of users, we're doubling down on a future where every brand can build, launch, and grow an app with AI. This is the moment Bryj accelerates."

Mark Gorenberg, Founder & Managing Director of Zetta Venture Partners, added: "James has repeatedly built mobile products that win at massive scale. Bryj is solving the hardest part of mobile growth: helping brands create high-performing apps and then driving users into them with AI. James brings the product intuition, operational discipline, and category vision to lead Bryj into its next stage of growth."

Jennifer Fonstad, founder of Owl Capital, commented: "Bryj gives marketers the ability to move at the speed of their customers, a capability that will define the next decade of mobile commerce. Unifying app creation, engagement, and acquisition in one AI-powered platform is a category-defining idea, and James is the right leader to scale it globally."

Bryj serves brands like Ethan Allen, Allegis, and PacSun, with upcoming advancements planned for early 2026 to further streamline AI-powered mobile workflows.
