Kevin Collins

Kevin Collins is the co-founder of Global Widget, LLC. Collins founded Global Widget in 2016 alongside co-founder Donald Biedrzycki. Currently, Collins serves as the company’s co-CEO with Biedrzycki and this is not the first time that both experienced entrepreneurs have worked together. The two worked in the automotive industry and jointly operated multiple dealerships for more than five years.

Prior to founding Global Widget, Collins was a successful real estate professional specializing in buying, rehabilitating, and selling rental portfolios.

Since 2016, Collins has used his leadership expertise and experience in managing various teams to lead Global Widget’s sales, marketing, design, and product marketing development teams as the business has scaled to include three premium hemp-derived CBD brands: Hemp Bombs, Nature’s Script, and Perfect Paws Hemp for pets. Global Widget’s product lines consist of CBD gummies, an industry best-seller with over 50 million units sold, in addition to CBD edibles, CBD oils, and CBD topicals.

As product lines continue to expand to offer consumers the highest quality and purest product on the market, Collins and Biedrzycki have formed strategic partnerships to ensure a quality and compliant process of manufacturing, distributing, and selling Global Widget’s products to distributors and directly to consumers worldwide in accordance with all local, state, and federal statutes.

As the company has expanded to include three facilities with over 100,000 square feet of manufacturing and distribution space, it has also grown its workforce to more than 200 employees. Collins attributes the success of Global Widget’s brands in the emerging CBD industry to its commitment to quality and compliance through its in-house sales, marketing, manufacturing, distribution, and compliance teams. It is that business model with its focus on the distribution of its product lines that has led to Global Widget’s products being available in more than 25,000 convenience and brick-and-mortar stores across the country, in addition to online.

In an industry currently lacking federal regulation or guidance, Collins and Biedrzycki share a vision of creating and setting industry standards to position Global Widget as the leader and innovator in the industry and the brand all other competitors are measured against.
