Empowering Leadership to See Around Corners

Transformation Executive

Research suggests that the right executive helps businesses to emerge stronger, more fiscally sound, and with higher levels of optimism. As an interim, I define a well-bounded role, even if the day-to-day is not. I transition an organization and lay the groundwork for the future.

I take the helm and lay the groundwork for the next leader’s success by:

Serving as the bridge for new technology implementation, allowing for growth or discrete problem-solving.
Managing the day-to-day by examining the organization objectively, reassuring anxious staff and stakeholders while keeping finances and revenue on track.
Being ready to get into action and lead
Mentoring the new leaders

Testimonials

DHL - Head of Operations

I was introduced to Lawrence when I was charged with building my Testing Competency Centre for DHL IT Services in Prague (Czech Republic). He provided his broad depth of knowledge to Test Management, Execution and Strategy that we were encountering and therefore helped mold the solution so that it took broader European complexities into account. Lawrence brought his resources to bear on resourcing, cost charge backs and test delivery. Without his assistance I truly believe that the endeavour would not have been delivered with the success we have been rewarded with.

Senior Director, Global Services

Lawrence compliments his deep understanding of technology with his ability to understand people. Both clients and colleagues benefit from a meaningful discussion each time they interact with him. Lawrence’s approach defines “consultative” as he works towards achieving mutual goals.

Kinzer Real Estate - CEO

I've worked with Lawrence twice in the last couple of years. He is my "go to" for complex situations that require someone who can quickly go deep. He looks for strategic and tactical wins that get companies moving in the same direction and as he says "engineer opportunity through change." I highly recommend him and look forward to continuing my relationship with him.

Denny Hill Capital - Managing Partner

Lawrence is one of the most strategic change agents I've worked with. His situational grasp and assessment of complex situations is immediate, and runs both broad and deep. His bandwidth is considerable; he at once is capable of drilling to the granular while maintaining laser focus and perspective on mission and vision

Aviva Investors - Director UK

I've had the privilege of working with Lawrence while I was working at Aviva Investors; we brought Lawrence in to provide thought leadership and consulting around our Service Mgmt roadmap - his approach, demeanour and willingness to share his knowledge struck me as unique and he went beyond what we asked to cover. No hesitation in recommending Lawrence and I personally wouldn't hesitate a second in being able to work along side Lawrence again in the future. I also had the chance to work with Lawrence briefly when I too worked at UST Global, while based at a large retailer in the US - again, always available, approachable and willing to share his knowledge. I count Lawrence as a friend now, not just a colleague.

UST Global - General Manager

Lawrence's work over the two years he reported to me was exceptional. Hired to take over a nascent consulting business within a larger services organization, Lawrence has enhanced the reputation of the firm through delivery of excellent service, and managed the growth of the business line at a rate in excess of 100% per annum. In recognition of his contributions and capabilities, additional service lines have been consolidated under his business unit.
