Collegewise provides college counseling services to high school and middle school students and their families. I was brought in as CEO in response to existential challenges that had arisen, including leadership challenges, significant staff turnover, sales and service delivery deficits and other obstacles. In a short period of time, we broadened and strengthened the leadership team, improved our sales strategy, revised our service delivery model, reengaged staff across the organization, enhanced our product offerings, implemented scalable management processes, and adjusted pricing and compensation structures. By the end of the year, the company had achieved its best year in its 20-year history at both the top and bottom lines. On the heels of this record year, the company was sold to a strategic acquirer.

CEO of a mission-driven organization running K-12 schools of excellence for (1) students in disinvested communities who are grappling with the academic, social and emotional challenges associated with extreme poverty, violence, trauma, food insecurity, homelessness and addiction; and (2) students with emotional, physical or cognitive disabilities, such as the Midwest Center for Autism and other schools serving students with any of the recognized disabling conditions (other than blindness). Prior to joining, the company had a history of declining revenues, challenged customer retention and compressing margins. During my 3-year tenure, we rebuilt the sales, marketing and finance functions from the ground up, and in one full sales cycle, grew revenues $15M (despite COVID) while improving EBITDA by 35%. Delivered both top and bottom-line budgets for three consecutive years, the first time in the owner’s 11-year hold. Secured consecutive 100% customer and program retention for the first time in nine years. Reduced staff turnover by ~30% to achieve target retention rates across 1,000+ employees. Sold the company in a highly competitive process.

Initially was hired to help Cambium develop a stronger business strategy and assist in growth through smart acquisitions. However, the company's performance prevented it from aggressively pursuing meaningful acquisition opportunities. I was then asked to run Class.com and Lincoln National Academy, Cambium's online courseware provider and its fully-accredited virtual high school. By the time of my departure roughly one year later, we had more than doubled the company's course catalog and tripled sales.
