100 Coconuts Accelerates Growth with Key Leadership Appointments and Expanding Global Momentum

New York, NY — 04/11/2026 — 100 Coconuts is entering a defining phase of growth, strengthening its leadership team and board as it continues to scale across the U.S. and international markets.

The company announced that Dominic Rice will join as Chief Operating Officer, bringing more than 16 years of experience across the global beverage industry, including a senior executive role at Red Bull. Rice, who also founded CANS, a European beverage brand focused on creating modern non-sweet beverages, will lead operations as 100 Coconuts accelerates its next stage of expansion.

In parallel, the company is expanding its strategic investors with the appointments of Chris Hunt and Jaime Cacharrón, both senior executives in North America and Europe with deep expertise in strategy, distribution, and scaling global beverage brands. They join through Stargaze Ventures, a boutique investment platform focused on next-generation consumer companies.

“Dominic brings a level of operational discipline and global perspective that will be critical as we scale,” said Gregory Lowe, Founder and CEO of 100 Coconuts. “Chris and Jaime have helped build one of the most influential beverage businesses in the world. Having that level of experience supporting the brand at this stage is incredibly valuable.”

Founded by Lowe, 100 Coconuts has quickly emerged as one of the fastest-growing premium coconut water brands in the U.S., driven by strong repeat purchase, expanding distribution, and a brand that resonates with a new generation of consumers.

The company is coming off its strongest year to date, marked by national retail expansion, rising velocities, and increasing demand across both retail and digital channels. That momentum continues into 2026 with major activations underway, including Costco road shows this summer, Kroger end-cap programs, and expanded presence across key grocery and specialty retailers.

100 Coconuts continues to build brand authority through key industry moments in 2026, including Expo West, KeHE Summer Show, and a recent international showcase at IFE UK, where early traction is already strong.

“For us, growth is not just about distribution; it’s about building a brand people genuinely choose, return to, and advocate for,” said Sherina Garcia, Chief Marketing Officer of 100 Coconuts. “We see 100 Coconuts as an everyday luxury, a feel-good ritual that becomes part of how people hydrate. When something tastes this good and fits seamlessly into your lifestyle, it stops being occasional and becomes a habit.”

Beyond scale, 100 Coconuts is helping redefine the coconut water category, shifting it from a basic commodity into a brand-led experience rooted in taste, quality, and cultural relevance.

“We’ve always believed this category could be more,” Lowe added. “Our focus has been consistency across product, brand, and execution. That’s what builds trust, and over time, that trust drives real, lasting growth.”

With an expanded leadership team, strengthened board, and accelerating global demand, 100 Coconuts is positioned to scale sustainably while continuing to build a brand that extends far beyond the shelf.
