Our
Projects

Over the past 10+ years, we’ve led cross-functional initiatives across supply chain, product development, and operations at fast-growing CPG and omnichannel brands. Here’s a look at some of the projects we’ve worked on — focused on scaling systems, improving margins, and bringing innovative products to market faster.

New Product Development & Go-to-Market Execution

  • Built Stage-Gate Aligned Timelines
    Developed custom product development timelines for growing personal care brands using Smartsheet and Asana. Worked across a variety of product forms (candles, deodorant, skincare, haircare, kits) ensuring the timelines aligned with supply chain lead times and launch readiness milestones.

  • Cross-Functional Launch Cadence
    Designed and implemented a recurring meeting structure to review all active product launches across functions like Marketing, Sales, R&D, Product Development, Packaging, and Logistics — helping teams align faster, flag risks earlier, and improve speed to market.

  • Asana for Strategic Execution
    Built dashboards and created an executive-level Portfolio view for senior leaders using Asana’s advanced project features. Supported EOS (entrepreneurial operating system) implementation by formatting cross-functional projects for Level 10 reviews.

Created transition and onboarding timelines, consolidated handover materials, and streamlined communication between Packaging, Supply Chain, and R&D. Contributing to faster vendor onboarding and reduced launch delays through improved workflows and documentation.
