Client Results
Hidden high-tech champion: from cross-functional friction to a high-velocity growth engine
A division stuck in organization inertia: endless committees, slow decisions, and “playful engineers” kept building without evidence while revenue stalled. We ran a 12-week Lean Innovation & Intrapreneurship Accelerator to align teams, break political friction & install decision loops.
In 3 months, teams went from cross-functional stall to rapid execution, with early customer wins that later helped the VP driving change rise to Division President.
From underdog to a global top-70 crypto startup
ODEM began as a little-known blockchain ed-tech startup in a crowded market. We repositioned the company, sharpened narrative for investor readiness, and built the momentum that pushed ODEM into the global Top 70 (No. 61) on CoinMarketCap at its peak end of 2018.
The surge also earned ODEM a spot in the Crypto Valley Top 50 and recognition as one of Switzerland’s fastest-rising crypto ventures at the time.
From corporate innovation project to a thriving family business
At Bayer, we helped a team of intrapreneurs shape and validate a sustainable weeding solution in partnership with a tech startup. The project gained traction, was spun out through a management buyout, and grew into a successful family business.
