Each case follows the same four parts: the situation, the diagnosis, what changed, and the result. The numbers are finance-validated wherever the engagement allowed it.

I was brought in to fix product management. **Diagnosis:** The problem was organizational, not technical. The venture was scaling before product-market fit, and every customer request reached the roadmap. The product worked as a monitoring tool, but customers relied on engineers to interpret what it flagged. **What changed:** Mandate widened within 30 days to the full organization. Portfolio rationalized; teams restructured from 100+ to about 60 FTE; agile replaced 18-month waterfall cycles. **Result:** $10M+ finance-validated annual cost reduction in nine months, and the delivery cycle cut from 18 months to 3. When customer research showed the SaaS thesis had no market, I recommended winding the venture down before more capital was committed: products retired, operations closed, every employee redeployed elsewhere in Koch. The freed capital funded a pivot to embedded analytics in Koch's core equipment business. ### 02 / Global consumer goods: AI-enabled order management **Situation:** A stalled program to unify order management across three enterprise platforms. **Diagnosis:** The first automation was built against SOPs, not real order flow. It was templates presented as AI, and it broke on real-world variation. **What changed:** As-is mapping, then a rebuild as a learning system with human-in-the-loop feedback, led with a 40+ person international team. **Result:** $5M annual savings, 40%+ throughput, zero-touch processing on validated orders, and 500+ users across North America, Latin America and Europe. ### 03 / UK retail bank: post-merger integration **Situation:** Integration of two leading UK retail banks under regulatory scrutiny. **What changed:** I designed and led a 25-person integration program, consolidated the complaints operation, and wrote the enterprise risk methodology the CRO approved. **Result:** Complaint resolution cut from 20 days to 1; repeat complaints down 50%; 25+ sites consolidated to fewer than 10; FSA approval secured. ### 04 / $20B consumer lending business: field sales platform (Capital One) **Situation:** A product team delivering small, reactive fixes with no game-changers. **Diagnosis:** Kanban and the loudest users were setting the agenda. **What changed:** Moved to Scrum and rebuilt the design council to include high and low performers, metro and rural markets. **Result:** 1.5 hours of daily planning returned to each of 150+ associates, and an invitation to present at Dreamforce. A follow-on B2B platform, Dealer Navigator, delivered a 13% sales funnel improvement. ### 05 / Manufacturing network: capacity and footprint (P&G) **Situation:** Repackaging a product portfolio across 30+ lines at four sites. **Diagnosis:** Dedicated lines sat idle about 30% of the time because size changeovers took two to three days. **What changed:** Redesigned three part families for quick change, cutting changeovers from days to hours. **Result:** 20% excess capacity identified, a four-to-three site consolidation, and the $8M program delivered three months early and 20% under budget.
