Growth Spectrum fractional consulting engagement providing executive coaching to marketing, sales, operations, and delivery. Reinforcing action-oriented, people-focused outcomes with data and process for sustainable growth and profitability.

Growth Spectrum’s Big Results:

  • Coaching Solutions & Sales Pipeline team to be able to increase volume and value of proposals and wins by 200% each.

  • Coaching VP Delivery to increase bench and utilization while decreasing delivery cost of labor by 50%.

  • Provided process governance to reduce SLA for sold to kicked-off from weeks to days and increase SLA compliance 50 percentage points.

  • As part of our current fractional CDO role, Growth Spectrum provides weekly coaching via 1:1’s and leadership & integrated marketing meetings. The strategy is to use a mix of Unified Leadership Framework development combined with real-word application towards building an executive presence for the VPs. Reflective questions help drive fiscal and cultural thinking when faced with “pivot, push, or persuade” difficult conversations.

  • Significant focus on how to align data, processes, work functions, and communications to provide more efficient and thorough outcomes. Further refinement of zones of accountability and the smooth friction of enacting controls in the processes. Also coaching the account coordinator into a project manager mindset and capability.

  • Focused the team on how to support the CEO through a parallel “grow ICP and Eat to Stay Alive” sales and marketing strategy. Good sales and marketing require understanding the financial and operational impact of their activities and being accountable for income growth (not just revenue growth.) Working through Principal and Agent relationships that were in disarray to a clearly defined set of guidelines and parameters for assigning effort and focus on deals and solutions has led to increase productive output.

  • Working with Project Managers and Client Delivery Leads to understand and leverage the suite of dashboards available for tracing Customer Satisfaction, Profitability, and Growth by account and project. Ensuring monthly account planning process evaluates current trends and where the account needs to go so that work is prioritized and appropriate.

Contact Growth Spectrum if you want a coach who has earned the trust of his colleagues and can help your leaders evolve into strategic, results-driven stewards. His success is the team’s success because he truly believes in an approach that empowers others. One of our colleagues shared, “I truly feel like I will be more successful in my career in the short and long term due to Tim’s guidance,” and I couldn’t agree more.

Hart Hanks
Delivery Consulting

Fractional consulting engagement to redesign delivery and client success across marketing, database, and automation.

Growth Spectrum’s Big Results:

  • Cut lead times for Eloqua automation creation in half while reducing errors.

  • Stabilized Affinity Marketing database ETL, CDI, and PCOA process in alignment with bespoke campaign processing within a week of taking charge.

  • Able to quickly reduce development and infrastructure cost overheads and streamline by 50% and double QA test case throughput.

  • While Growth Spectrum was in its initial development phase, Tim contracted as a fractional delivery consultant for Harte Hanks for two years. He worked as a lead on healthcare marketing (Email, Web, OOH, DRTV), Eloqua MarTech delivery leadership for a global electronics company, and fixing processes and systems for an Affinity Marketing Database and Campaign Solution for a major US insurance client.

    Tim’s database and digital marketing knowledge were critical in defining test plans, cleaning up targeting and segmentation, and ensuring campaign controls were structured for proper testing.

  • Tim was responsible for a small team of project managers, account managers, and operations specialists. He created global synergies between Romanian and US counterparts to ensure the processes could flow easily during disparate working hours. He employed changes to Wrike, WorkZone, GitHub, and JIRA to get better control over operations, development, QA, and release management.

  • Development of customized dashboards in PM tools to identify problems proactively and keep tickets flowing in a prioritized and rapid fashion.

    Had to educate the president of the reason why I was blocking the release of a systems change “due to 2 bugs.” Program and product management was clinging to that KPI instead of the “0 test cases of 185 were able to be tested” KPI. The two bugs were major blockers that prevent QA from happening at all.

  • Mentored junior PMs and operations staff on developing their action skill and how to inform leadership with facts and persuasion.

As far as I’m concerned, Tim has a superpower. He can go into a situation that is broken, get up to speed and begin presenting process improvements and solutions in a remarkably short time. I’ve witnessed his ability to evaluate a team in the digital marketing space, taking a broad view of business intelligence, operations and systems integration and fix things that had previously confounded others, all in the span of a month. As another no-nonsense, ‘get it done’, customer-centric person, I found Tim refreshing and impressive as a colleague and would work with him again anytime, anywhere.
— Eileen Parzek, Marketing Automation Consultant, Harte Hanks
Simply put, Tim is incredible at what he does. His ability to come into a difficult situation, process what is happening, and get up to speed very quickly is remarkable. He can also bring levity to these situations to help ease tension and boost team morale. Tim is also very good at looking at problems holistically and treating the root cause versus just the symptoms. He is also very personable, and I have learned quite a bit from him regarding client interfacing and management.

Mars - MYM&M’s®

Business Process Manager leading sales and delivery operations, customer service, systems, data, KPIs, and marketing breakthroughs.

Tim’s Big Results:

  • Instrumental in driving capacity for growth from $500k to &80MM a year in three years.

  • Initiated target audience and need-state research, and then later developed recession-proof pricing schemas to protect the growth we created.

  • Drove process and systems strategy that increased on-time-and-complete from 50% to 99.97% and reduced cost-to-serve from 50% of revenue to 3% of revenue.

  • Three phases of IT System architecture and system planning. Phase 1 - Stabilize and integrate existing systems. Phase 2 - Create, procure or modify existing application integration for 2–3-year optimization. Phase 3 - Identify an optimal ERP and supporting applications plan for long term sustainability.

    Led the rapid and ground-breaking operations, service, and systems changes to support the growth of MYM&M’S® Personalized Candies from $500k to $80MM a year within 3 years while (by) improving On-Time and Complete (achieved 99.9%) and Net Promoter Score (achieved 55) through data-led process changes.

    Operational success enabled by incident management, problem management, and change management protocols, tracking and prioritization. Initially built a team of 100 but was able to handle 9 times the volume with 50 people after the optimization changes.

  • Led and executed the original customer segmentation and need-state analysis that defined our go-to-market strategy, and seasonal product offerings.

    Designed, executed, and analyzed a multi-dimensional price testing strategy for MYM&M’S® while I was also creating the blueprints for our SAP implementation. The results led to a 100% increase in sales for our core product right before the 2008 economic breakdown. Kept business flat when our competitor dropped 75% and dropped out for a few years.

    Created and managed marketing database and attribution systems. Also drove vertical price tests to identify unattributed halo effect of non-digital media.

  • Used Data Bridger, Toad, and Oracle to create data marts and views to be consumed by our Hyperion OLAP user community that neither e-Commetry nor Data Bridger had been able to create.

    Developed and managed KPI strategy and execution for General Manager and each Dearment Head.

    Consistent reframing of operational issues using data. “Saving two seconds on the shipping process but cross-mailing 20% of packages is not good.” “Reducing five seconds of candy mixing but destroying FIFO due-date layers is not helpful to the customer.”

  • Rapid expansion of team required finding stars from the production floor (tying bows on wedding favors) and growing them into team leads, supervisors, and managers to support the full operations gamut.

    Mentored marketing and IT colleagues on how to reframe standard CPG and e-Commerce best practices and how to identify proper integration paths into our high-volume, personalized, build-to-order process.

I have worked with Tim in MARS Direct for the past 4 years on the MY M&M’S direct business. Tim has demonstrated big solutions thinking across multiple disciplines - his efforts have driven significant growth and understanding within our new business. He understands both Marketing and Supply Chain functions and how IT can be effectively leveraged to grow the top and bottom lines. Tim is functionally deep in business process, IT integration, customer care and pricing strategy. He is a team player who works well up, down and across the organization. His efforts make the team stronger.
— Dan Michael, R&D Director, Mars Direct
Tim was a tremendous asset for Mars Direct during my entire tenure with the company. He was the rare type of business manager who also had a comprehensive understanding of the technical processes involved in running the business. Because of his cross-functional skills, Tim served as the liaison between the operations and web development group.
Tim always impressed our team with his ability to accomplish technical tasks such as writing complex SQL statements for reporting purposes. He’s also a very organized person, a tireless worker, and a wonderful public speaker.
— Todd Nakamura, .NET Developer, Mars IS
Tim knows a lot. More importantly, he knows how to get a lot done. Tim is a systems guy who can translate complex situations into understandable solutions. And he built the infrastructure that created a nimble e-commerce powerhouse within a massive corporation.

— Nicole Bacchus, Head of UX Research, Meta

Tim quickly picked up the leadership in this programme and through his drive, creativity and engaged style, resulted in becoming a key component of the success of the end-system and supporting business processes, which lasts today as a key legacy of his contribution. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Tim, and his strong interpersonal skills and business process analysis and re-engineering has made quite a mark.
— Pedro J. Farinha, General Manager, Apgar UK, Nordics & Iberia
I was working with Tim in one of the biggest Mars Consumer Care projects- with the ambitious goal to harmonize processes, applications, ways of working across the globe. He was brilliant in understanding and translating the technical requirements ( in fact, quite often his experience and knowledge was above the knowledge of our IT department) into a “language” that the business user could follow and understand. The way “Consumer Care at Mars” works today is heavily influenced by Tim`s skill to see : + the bigger picture, + future trends and needs for the business, + how technique can support us (and not the other way round ). His balanced level of perseverance helped to fulfil 100% (not only 80% as it often happens in IT projects) of our expectation during the long period of time that it finally took. Tim is extremely reliable, he always delivered as promised and in time, an open and trustful colleague and it was always a pleasure to work with him.
