From Founder-Dependent to Scalable Leadership Across Continents
At a Cloud Services Startup with teams distributed in France and Montreal, we faced the challenge of transitioning from a founder-centric model to a scalable leadership team. In just 12 months, we expanded the company from 15 to 125 people, creating a leadership structure that could sustain this rapid growth across multiple locations.
Accelerating Product Delivery
In a Software Company, we worked with a team initially struggling with delayed product releases and internal friction. We transformed the leadership team into a cohesive unit, reducing the product delivery timeline from 8 months to just 4 weeks, while significantly improving product quality and customer satisfaction.
Breaking Down Silos
At a Global Software Company based in Boston, we were tasked with unifying an Engineering Leadership Team that operated in silos. Our efforts not only transformed the engineering organization but also positively impacted connected functions like product management, marketing and support.
Agile Transformation in the Energy Sector
At an Electrical Company based in Nashville, we spearheaded an agile transformation for a team building energy control centers. The challenge was twofold: implementing agile methodologies in a hardware-focused environment and managing a multicultural team with members from the US, France and Mexico. Through our coaching and strategic guidance, the team successfully reduced their development cycle and accelerated the pace at which they could showcase innovation to their customers.
Cross-Cultural Leadership
At a Global Software Company, our work extended to the EMEA region, where we reinvigorated a highly diverse leadership team. This experience honed our skills in cross-cultural leadership coaching and added a layer of cultural competence to our approach.
Aligning a Massive Team
Engaged by the CTO of a Software Company, who leads a team of 10,000 people, we faced the challenge of aligning an expansive leadership team around shared goals. Through targeted coaching and strategic planning, we streamlined product focus and set the stage for more effective operations.
