As the director of the Corporate Innovation division I adapt startup best practices to help billion dollar companies innovate. The result: a low risk path to turn ideas into increased margins and recurring revenue.Case Study: The London Stock Exchange Group identified a market opportunity, but the team in charge had little experience developing new ideas and struggled to secure resources. For a cost within their discretionary budget, and in only 12 weeks, we transformed their idea into a live product used by customers. Customer feedback provided the data needed to secure additional resources. We iterated their product, BDC Collateral, over the next two years to become the leading solution. Other Quick Examples:* Rapid Digital Solution: Fortune-50 company’s marketing group wanted a simple, cheap digital tool they could share with the public and needed it in two weeks. We created their Portfolio Carbon Intensity Calculator.* Extended Producer Responsibility Compliance: Monitors emerging regulations globally, provides first level impact assessments, and enables clients to manage end-of-life responsibility.* Circular Economy: First cost-effective tool to allow everyone from product managers up to the C-suite to monitor and improve progress towards circular economy objectives.* Compliance: Product converts excel-based audit protocols into modern digital solutions that increase efficiency, accuracy, and transparency. * ESG: Product allows private equity firms and their portfolio companies to measure & improve their emissions to show compliance with ESG regulations. * Workflow: Leading the conversion from manual to digital workflow for the largest multi-unit energy efficiency retrofitter in the US.
