Colby Kraus
Content Marketing Lead
Over the last decade, I've been a part of incredibly talented marketing teams at growth-stage companies — building brands, content systems, and go-to-market strategies. EquipmentShare. Tillful. Now Main Street Summit and Capital Camp. Blue-collar work ethic. Strong editorial instincts. Developing taste that compounds.
Why Ambrook?
My dad spent his career driving county roads to visit farmers, ranchers, and small business owners — helping them finance equipment, plan for the future, and stay independent as an agricultural lender at a local bank. My grandpa worked the front desk at the ag co-op in Pilot Grove, MO, for his entire career, helping producers solve everyday problems. At 14, I got my first job hauling square hay bales in the summer and picking black walnuts in the fall for neighbors whose families had farmed the same ground for generations. That's the world I grew up in. The same world that Ambrook’s customers live in every day. I've been following Ambrook for two years. What's kept my attention is the incredible team you’ve been building and how you’re improving your customers’ lives—the folks who describe Ambrook as less like software and more like a partner. Your mission to help independent businesses stay independent is the very thing my family spent their careers doing. I’d love to help tell that story.
