Before

Senior VP saw AI disruption coming and needed board buy-in for his three-company acquisition strategy. But he was soft-spoken and often took a backseat in discussions. The board liked him personally but didn't see him as a strong executive leader.

The Work

We worked on two fronts: crafting a powerful narrative for the most influential board members that would guarantee a yes vote on the strategy change, and building his executive presence so he projected the confidence he had in his plan. We focused on helping him speak clearly and concisely, and present in a way that made the board feel confident handing him the reins of this major strategic shift.

After

Delivered board presentation that earned the company's first-ever standing ovation. Got full approval for strategy pivot and 3 international acquisitions. The company gained a 2-year competitive advantage in AI integration and opened two new global markets.
