SBLI of Massachusetts, a life insurance company offering term life, whole life, annuities, and final expense products, faced integration complexities after acquiring LegacyShield. With minimal staff during a critical period and no Chief Marketing Officer, the company needed to develop a go-to-market strategy for newly acquired capabilities while stabilizing operations and breaking even financially in year one. TechCXO deployed Lewis Goldman as fractional CMO to lead the integration effort. He developed a comprehensive business and go-to-market strategy, built financial models and planning frameworks, provided marketing mentorship for existing personnel, negotiated distribution partnerships, led a cross-functional integration task team, supported new sales representative hiring, and created enhanced product financial models. The engagement exceeded renewal goals and added numerous new advisors to the distribution channel. A new product was soft-launched in Q4 2022, and the company projected a 50% revenue increase for LegacyShield in 2023 versus 2022. The fractional CMO approach accelerated revenue growth and expanded market offerings without the overhead of a full-time executive hire.

Binbox Lockers, a metro DC-based IoT-enabled smart locker solutions provider serving stadiums, arenas, offices, and convention centers, experienced explosive 30x quarter-over-quarter revenue growth that strained people, processes, and systems. High internal friction and degrading customer experience compounded the challenges, followed by COVID-19 causing an operational shutdown and revenue stall. TechCXO Partner Steve Subar stepped in as fractional Chief Operating Officer to stabilize the business. He clarified organizational responsibilities, created a structured hardware and software product roadmap, matured software engineering processes, overhauled sales operations, improved customer support infrastructure, and refined the business model with key process improvements. The engagement delivered operational stabilization across teams, processes, and systems. Discipline was restored during extreme market disruption, and a five-year operational plan was developed and aligned with stakeholder objectives. Binbox was positioned for scalable, profitable expansion with a foundation built for sustainable growth.

Clearleap, a cloud-based video platform serving media and entertainment companies, needed experienced financial leadership to manage rapid growth. The company was scaling from $500K in revenue with increasing complexity across multiple rounds of equity and debt financing, international expansion into Europe and Asia, and the need for institutional-grade financial controls. TechCXO provided Neal Miller as fractional CFO over a four-year engagement. He led multiple capital raises totaling over $40 million, built scalable financial operations and controls, structured capex financing aligned with revenue expansion, supported European and Asian market launches with compliance infrastructure, and eventually recruited and transitioned to a full-time CFO. Clearleap grew from $500K to over $20M in revenue, expanded to serve over 10 million users globally with clients including HBO, Comcast, Roku, and Apple, and grew to 100+ employees across three continents. The company was acquired by IBM in 2015, becoming the foundation of IBM Cloud Video Services and delivering strong investor returns.

Aptitude Health faced a significant challenge with a vacant CTO position, which resulted in considerable obstacles in delivery. The company struggled to achieve its strategic and operational goals without a leadership figure in technology, leading to dissatisfaction within the organization. TechCXO stepped in to fill the leadership gap, reorganizing the team and implementing best practices in project management and technology. Their full-service support spanned financial, technology, and strategic operations, providing the necessary guidance and structure to improve performance. As a result, Aptitude Health achieved an on-time delivery record for the first time in its history, leading to a complete reversal in the company's perception of its IT capabilities.

List Partners, known for its Winmo sales intelligence platform, faced a significant challenge as the company scaled. They required senior finance expertise across multiple functions but lacked the budget and headcount for a full in-house team. The demand included handling financial operations, strategic M&A execution, and the necessity for a comprehensive finance team to support ongoing growth without committing to full-time executive hires. Recognizing the workload was too complex for internal resources alone, they needed a flexible yet experienced outside partner. To address these challenges, List Partners engaged TechCXO to embed three dedicated professionals: a fractional CFO, VP of Finance, and Controller, who directly integrated with the leadership team. This fractional model enabled the company to implement best-practice processes and streamline operations while managing a comprehensive finance and accounting function. The approach also provided strategic financial guidance across M&A activities, combining executive-level insight with cost efficiency without the burden of permanent hires. This collaboration proved successful, resulting in the professionalization of List Partners' finance function and guiding the company through several growth milestones. It directly contributed to the acquisition by Northlane Capital Partners, asserting strong business fundamentals and strategic readiness. The innovative fractional leadership model allowed List Partners to scale efficiently and position for a successful private equity acquisition, providing the necessary structure and oversight for future endeavors.
