Context

Moving a complex global business

Johnson Matthey needed transformation programs that could move a complex global business, not just describe a future state. The work required stakeholder alignment, scoped initiatives, process discipline, and new capabilities that could survive after the program ended.

Approach

Turning priorities into programs

I translated ambiguous corporate priorities into transformation programs, execution rhythms, measurable efficiency targets, and cross-functional cadences. The portfolio included 12 strategic transformation initiatives, process-efficiency improvement, and the zero-to-one buildout of North America Government Affairs.

Outcome

Twelve transformation programs delivered

  • → Led 12 enterprise transformation programs across North America.
  • → Drove measurable process-efficiency improvement.
  • → Founded and headed the North America Government Affairs function from scratch.
