Case Studies
Transforming a Technology Startup into a Multi-Million Dollar Leader in Public Safety
Client: Alaska Monitoring Services (AKMS)
Role: Chief Operating Officer
Industry: Public Safety Technology
Challenge:
Alaska Monitoring Services (AKMS) started with limited resources—a mere $30,000 in initial funding—and needed a strategic framework to rapidly establish itself as a reputable public safety provider in Alaska. The company faced the challenge of entering a highly regulated and competitive market, where efficient operations and a strong reputation for reliability were essential for growth and sustainability.
Solution:
As COO, I developed a comprehensive growth strategy centered around three key pillars: strategic partnerships, operational efficiency, and revenue diversification. I negotiated alliances with key players in public safety, building trust and enhancing AKMS's credibility within the community. Additionally, I streamlined operations, implementing lean practices to ensure the company could maximize output and maintain quality with limited resources. I also diversified the revenue streams, creating additional service offerings that increased market reach and provided new financial stability.
Outcome:
Through these efforts, AKMS achieved an unprecedented growth trajectory, reaching $2.8 million in revenue within 18 months and surpassing $3.5 million within 36 months. The company solidified its position as a trusted provider in Alaska's public safety sector, expanding its client base nationwide. AKMS's rapid scaling established it as a market leader and created a sustainable foundation for future growth and innovation.
Building Alaska’s Construction Workforce for the Future
Client: Construction Education Foundation Alaska (CEF)
Role: Chief Executive Officer
Industry: Education & Workforce Development
Challenge:
Alaska was experiencing a critical shortage of skilled labor in the construction industry, with few training programs available to support this essential sector. The Construction Education Foundation (CEF) needed a leader who could expand its reach, secure funding, and form partnerships to provide Alaskans with career-oriented training in construction trades.
Solution:
As CEO, I spearheaded a transformation initiative to make CEF the premier training hub for construction in Alaska. My approach involved expanding the organization’s existing programs, improving outreach to increase enrollment, and securing over $5 million in additional funding to support new initiatives. I also established partnerships with over 30 organizations, including construction firms, industry associations, and government bodies, to ensure graduates could transition seamlessly into the workforce.
Outcome:
Under my leadership, CEF’s enrollment grew by 40%, bringing more Alaskans into skilled labor roles and addressing the workforce shortage head-on. These initiatives empowered individuals to develop lifelong skills and strengthened Alaska’s construction sector, creating lasting partnerships supporting the state’s economy. The additional funding and alliances solidified CEF’s reputation as a leader in workforce development.
Unifying Teams and Expanding Impact Across Diverse Divisions
Client: Ascent Management Services
Role: Chief Executive Officer
Industry: Business Services & Energy Sector
Challenge:
Ascent Management Services had several divisions with distinct missions—from energy and environmental services to regulatory compliance—yet struggled with organizational cohesion. Without a unified approach, the divisions missed opportunities to maximize their impact and benefit from shared knowledge and resources.
Solution:
As CEO, I focused on creating a unified culture and developing a leadership framework that empowered each division to work independently while aligning with the broader organizational mission. I implemented performance metrics to track and enhance each team’s progress and fostered a culture of collaboration through regular cross-divisional meetings and initiatives. My leadership approach emphasized open communication, strategic goal alignment, and shared accountability.
Outcome:
Ascent’s divisions began working cohesively, driving successful projects that furthered sustainable energy initiatives, supported local economic development, and advanced regulatory compliance. The organization achieved new levels of impact in each area, with individual teams meeting and exceeding their goals. Ascent’s transformation into a unified, purpose-driven company enhanced its reputation and strengthened its market position across various sectors.
