Case Study
Rosetta Stone Enterprise & Education Turnaround
Challenge:
With consumer sales shrinking, Rosetta Stone needed its Enterprise and Education divisions to drive growth. Sales and services teams lacked training and accurate measurement, limiting performance.
Approach:
A targeted strategy introduced enablement programs, data-driven management, and cost efficiencies.
The Results:
Results were substantial: revenue doubled from $48M to $96M in four years, retention rose to 95%, and K-12 revenue grew from $28M to $50M. Cost reductions boosted contribution by 46% in H1 to $12.8M, reaching $41M by year-end.
The transformation turned Enterprise and Education into engines of profitability, offsetting consumer decline and securing sustainable growth.
Case Study
Driving Global Alignment & Growth at 3P
Challenge:
3P, a B2B/B2C edtech leader, faced declining consumer revenue and fragmented execution across six independent business units. I was brought in to unify global operations, reverse B2C decline, and expand B2B penetration, particularly in the U.S.
Approach:
Leading a 175-person team with an $18M budget, I realigned execution to market needs, launched a global partner program, and overhauled the digital funnel. These initiatives streamlined operations and strengthened customer acquisition.
The Results:
Results included $56M in B2B revenue (3% above target), 35% YoY B2C growth, and exceeding EBITDA targets, securing sustainable growth through global alignment.
