Proof, not promises.

Case studies from the work. Clients stay anonymous — the numbers don't. Each engagement below is told the way we ran it: situation, approach, and the outcomes finance signed off.

Strategy & Operations
A multi-regional freight and logistics operator · North America

Redesigning a freight network around the lanes that actually pay

A top-ten regional carrier was growing revenue and shrinking margin. We rebuilt the network around lane-level economics — and stayed through two quarters of execution to prove the new model in the P&L.

Strategy & Operations
A European financial-infrastructure provider · Middle East

A Gulf market entry that opened for business on the licensed date

A payments-infrastructure firm needed a Gulf presence to keep its two largest clients. We ran the entry — regulatory pathway, local partnership, first-year operating plan — from our Dubai Pulsepoint.

from engagement start to regulatory license — against an 18-month client deadline
Technology Modernization
A mid-sized European private bank · Europe

Replacing a private-banking core with the old system switched off

A private bank had signed a core-banking replacement twice before — and cancelled twice. The third program, which we led end to end, cut over in 26 months and decommissioned the legacy core.

26 months
from contract to cutover — the two cancelled attempts had each burned longer than that in planning
Workforce & Culture
A multi-brand hospitality group · Asia-Pacific

Rebuilding a leadership pipeline that was losing its general managers

A hospitality group opening eight properties a year was losing general managers faster than it could grow them. We rebuilt the talent system — progression, pay mechanics, and the GM role itself — and the attrition curve bent within two quarters.

annual GM attrition, measured over the four quarters following the redesign
Digital Transformation
A specialty commercial insurer · North America

Data foundations first: a specialty insurer's digital program that compounded

After two stalled portal projects, a specialty insurer let us re-sequence the program: canonical data first, product operating model second, broker experience third. The third portal attempt shipped in half the time of either failure — and kept shipping.

faster delivery of the broker portal versus either failed attempt — 7 months from first commit to first bound policy
Risk & Compliance
A high-growth payments company · Europe & UK

From regulatory findings to closure — with the second submission the last

A payments firm under a regulatory undertaking had already had one remediation plan rejected. We ran the findings-to-closure program against the regulator's calendar, and the resubmission closed every finding on first review.

31 / 31
findings closed on the resubmission's first review — no supplementary requests
Mergers & Integration
A diversified industrial acquirer · Global

A bolt-on integration measured where it counts: months seven through twenty-four

An industrial group acquired its largest-ever bolt-on with a synergy case the street doubted. We ran diligence, Day-1, and the full 24-month value-capture program — and finance, not the program office, signed off the number.

of the announced synergy case captured by month 24, per the CFO's audited ledger
