A manufacturing company had a cumbersome process for managing projects.

I advised them on streamlining the process.

The result was that project development times were reduced by 35%.

At a large company, two teams located in separate countries were tasked with rewriting a critical software application.

After six months of work, it was discovered that, due to miscommunication, the two parts of the application would not interface with each other.

With only three weeks left, I was called in. I led a small agile team that created a simple third layer of software that could translate back and forth, without compromising system performance.

As a result of my intervention, the application was able to go live on schedule.

A newly promoted senior technology leader felt overwhelmed by her new responsibilities.

I was brought in to coach her for performance and success.

I helped her identify her group's customers, and how to focus on creating and providing value to them, while reducing non-essential tasks.

As a result, she and her team enjoyed a 40% increase in productivity.

A small manufacturing company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Their manufacturing system continually broke down and they could not diagnose the cause.

I helped them analyze work flow and find the points of failure. We identified ways to streamline the process and make it more robust.

The result was that downtime was reduced 75%.

A bank wanted to increase its foreign currency business among a certain class of advanced financial institutions.

To meet the clients' needs, I helped the bank re-design an existing foreign currency product by adding additional features.

The result was a faster time-to-market than rivals developing brand-new products, thus capturing significant market share.

A telecom firm was losing market share in a critical market.

I helped them develop a high level product design strategy that allowed them to jump ahead of both their existing product, as well as their competitors, in terms of features and values.

The result was a 33% increase in market share.

A U.S. manufacturer bought an industrial laser cutting system to increase their efficiency, but had problems integrating it with their existing manufacturing systems.

I helped them develop a fast, reliable software solution that allowed real-time interoperability between the laser and their manufacturing systems.

The result was a 45% productivity increase in 18 months.

A major bank needed to provide automated foreign currency quotes, but they also needed to control risk during volatile markets and among exotic, lightly traded currencies.

I advised them in developing a solution where, for each particular currency, a tolerance range could be specified. If prices fluctuated outside of this range, the automated quotes would be routed to traders' desktops, where they could be overridden to guard against market risk.

The result was that over 90% of transactions were handled automatically, while human traders intervened when necessary. The bank reduced its market risk - without sacrificing performance.

Implementing this pricing solution involved working with groups across the organization, and rolling out new software to trading desktops in New York, Los Angeles, London, and Singapore.
