About Ross Goodhart:

Ross Goodhart Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Jupiter, the first brand focused on delivering high quality, luxe dandruff and scalp care products at approachable-premium prices. He was born and raised in Hawaii, and received his B.B.A from the University of Michigan School of Business in 2002, with an emphasis in Finance, Accounting and Entrepreneurship.

Ross worked in investment banking at Peter J. Solomon Company and then private equity at Siguler Guff & Company. Disenchanted with the finance world, Ross started developing high quality yet affordable home, kitchen and lifestyle products, but felt a disre to develop a brand and business that spoke to him more personally.

For his entire life, Ross had experienced moderate, and sometimes severe, dandruff. He progressively grew more and more frustrated with the available options – smelly formulas that didn’t work, prescription formulas that had numerous toxic ingredients, or products with uninspiring and embarrassing branding.
