- defining strategic and operational reviews for global banks, wealth managers, and insurance companies
- developing the strategic, commercial, and operational transformation of a financial-technology business
- helping to digitize processes to drive improved customer journeys and satisfaction, lessen time to market, and reduce costs by more than 70 percent
- leading the commercial and operational transformation for a large technology company, improving the earnings-before-interest-and-taxes margin from 7 to 20 percent and organic growth from 1 to more than 10 percent
