Track record
Roles held, and what moved in them.
Context
European automotive retail SaaS, four product tribes, dealer and OEM customers.
Situation
AI, machine learning, and conversational AI work was running across product lines without a shared thesis or a single owner.
Intervention
Consolidated the AI work behind a smaller set of product bets and named an owner for each.
Outcome
A single AI thesis with a named owner behind each bet, and a shorter list of committed initiatives.
Context
Scheduling software company repositioning from consumer utility to product-led B2B.
Situation
Product, design, product marketing, and support were aligned to the old consumer motion.
Intervention
Reset the roadmap around the B2B thesis and rebuilt the partner and integration strategy behind it.
Outcome
A roadmap, a partner strategy, and a go-to-market motion all pointed at the B2B buyer rather than the consumer one.
Context
Healthcare workflow company moving from tech-enabled services to enterprise B2B SaaS.
Situation
Core platforms and the partner network needed relaunching while delivery continued.
Intervention
Installed the operating cadence, decision rights, and coaching that let the team run discovery and delivery in parallel.
Outcome
Discovery and delivery running in parallel under one cadence, with decision rights held by the team rather than escalated.
