- - Typical Assignments
$750MM CPG company with 3,000 employees - HQ in undesirable location – BOD concerned with ageing leadership – where will the next generation of leaders come from?
$50MM technology company with 220 employees with overgrown organization and cost structure – siloed and demotivated workforce with a culture of fear and distrust {Results = revenue per employee +36% YOY}
$24MM+ business services company - facing stiff competition from much larger players and a shrinking labor market for skilled customer facing positions (800+ open positions) with a desire to up-grade talent across the 3,000+ employees {Results = most profitable year in Co.'s history – added $10MM to the revenue line}
$100MM+ rapidly growing global family owned CPG business - losing $14MM a year and struggling to survive against much larger competition – ownership disorganized, struggled with making changes to the employee population and unknowledgeable of how to align human capital to the business {Results = +176% profit increase – sold for +19% EBITDA}
$15MM global technology company - scaling - limited by difficult to find talent and very long tenured leaders – new investors want year over year doubling of revenue
Many companies - $2 to $100MM – constrained by their inability to evaluate and make the hard people decisions (who stays, who goes, who do we hire and where do we find them, how do we pay, reward & retain them) as well as their inability to align people & programs to the business vision and mission and drive productivity & profits – frustrating owners and investors => the “WHO” part of the business
