Protect continuity while buildingthe next operating company.

A global PE-backed carve-out had to stand up a cloud and SaaS operating platform while separating systems, suppliers, processes, and decision rights.

THE RESPONSE
  • Directed a $60M–$80M transformation portfolio
  • Aligned a 180-person matrixed team around the critical path
  • Launched the standalone platform in 10 months
