A strong product, re-anchored on what the buyer is actually buying.
A B2B SaaS company with real product depth and a capable team, going to market on feature comparison. The opportunity was to re-anchor the revenue motion on buyer value and line the operating structure up with the plan the company was running.
Brought in as COO to lead the rebuild. The engagement is non-exclusive, and Brainz IP predates it.
IP boundary note: this case study is public-safe — aggregate outcomes only. Specifics live behind NDA.
The team learned a new build cadence. They ship more than before, with the same headcount.
Outcome · Fluyenta · Q1 2026
Focus. Rewire. Build. Certify. Hand off.
-
I.
Lined the operating structure up with the plan — in fifteen days.
Fifteen days, start to finish. Focused the organisation around the people and functions carrying the roadmap, so structure and plan matched.
-
II.
Rebuilt the revenue motion buyer-side.
Stopped pitching features. Rebuilt the Discovery question bank around the buyer's actual procurement context. Average deal size 3×. Sales cycle −40%.
-
III.
Built Axon with SPARC + Claude.
Shipped a new AI product surface using the SPARC methodology paired with Claude. The team learned a new build cadence in the process — they ship more than before with the same headcount.
-
IV.
Certified the team on the new motion.
14-person revenue rollout. Manager certification installed. The test isn't whether the playbook works for me — it's whether the team can re-run it without me.
-
V.
Transitioned to Head of Innovation.
Role changed April 22, 2026 — strategic re-positioning. The operational rebuild was complete; the next chapter is product and innovation leadership across the platform pillars.
Focus beats breadth — build the structure around the work that carries the roadmap.
Operating principle · Day 1 of the engagement
Triple the deal. Half the cycle. A team that ships.
