TRANSITIONS: INTERIM MANAGEMENT
Interim management engagements are intended to be transitional and typically last 6 months – 2 years. Examples in which I helped companies thrive in difficult transitions include:
- Engineering Management – transformed contract development company into SaaS company, with launch of first product and creation of product portfolio
- Engineering Management – transformed product development process, increasing key quality metrics and customer satisfaction
- Technology Management – managed offshore engineering projects to align with overall business strategy
- VP Products – turned around and managed relationships with Fortune 500 and state agency customers – reversed loss of profits in each relationship
- CEO – managed turnaround, sold VC-funded IT company to private buyer
- VP Technology – integrated previously outsourced technology development, implemented agile methodologies and implemented product release schedules (thus shortening effective release times for quality-controlled releases) with estim. 50% increase in quality metrics and customer satisfaction
- General Management – assessed company operations, leading to management of turnaround and resulting in sale of company to private buyer
- Management – turned around failed regulatory strategy
- Engineering Management – led transition from custom software contractor to product development company, with applications in medicine, manufacturing, augmented reality (AR)
- Engineering Management – assessed and integrated newly acquired technologies into existing product portfolio of software company
- Engineering Management – integrated acquired $MM technology into product portfolio (selling at $100-400K/customer), implemented formal but flexible product development cycles, resulting in estim. 20% increase in productivity and profitability
