Real engagements. Measurable outcomes. A track record built across Fortune 500 companies, private equity-backed manufacturers, and high-growth start-ups.
Private Equity-Backed Mid-Market Contract Manufacturer
The firm was a combination of multiple acquisitions over 7 years with no substantive integration work. A comprehensive E2E transformation plan was developed and executed — including standing up SIOP and integrating with Financial Planning, an overhaul of procurement processes and organization, a rapid streamlining of the manufacturing and distribution network, digitization of the entire operational footprint, and the largest capital investment to add automated capacity in support of key product lines.
Results
- OSHA Recordables decreased by 50%
- $10M in structural fixed cost reduction
- Over $50M in variable cost reduction
- 98% of revenue ERP systems fully integrated in SAP
- Complete depletion of a long-standing order backlog and a 3-fold improvement in service
Purpose-Driven Food Technology Start-Up
The company had built substantial momentum by targeting SKUs for Food Service customers. When the pandemic hit, sustaining success demanded a strategic shift — diversifying SKU offerings into the omnichannel market. Remarkably, the team executed this pivot within just six months.
Results
- Sales soared to three times pre-pandemic levels
- Product availability expanded to 17,000 doors and continues to grow
Fortune 500 High-Growth CPG Company
A focused initiative examined network-wide capacity utilization, organizational support functions, and factory line staffing. The execution plan included production line relocation, investments in automation, and direct and indirect staffing optimization.
Results
- Over $100M in productivity delivered in 2 years
- Service to key customers improved to >98%
Private Equity-Backed Mid-Market Contract Manufacturer
Procurement practices from multiple acquisitions were ineffective at providing reliable, repeatable productivity and did not leverage the scale of buying power that had grown to close to $1B annually. The initiative leveraged a combination of basic and advanced analytical tools, bidding/re-bidding supply, and collaborative price and payment terms negotiation techniques.
Results
- Tripled annual productivity delivery from procurement
- 10% reduction in Working Capital
- Established redundant supply sources to assure business continuity
Private Equity-Backed Mid-Market Contract Manufacturer
One of the largest contract manufacturers in North America acquired two smaller firms within a 12-month period. Both integrations were executed on time and exceeded underwriting objectives. Learnings from the mergers were documented in a playbook to enhance due diligence processes.
Results
- ERP systems fully integrated — enabling efficient, accurate, and timely financial planning
- Leveraged central support functions to provide speed and reduce cost
- Revenue and profit exceeded underwriting objectives 1 year after mergers
Mission-Driven, Employee-Centric Fortune 500 Company
Following multiple rounds of leadership changes and workforce reductions, the flagship facility had devolved into a toxic work environment. Under Nadim's adept servant leadership, a strategic three-pronged approach — Engage, Invest, Innovate — yielded exceptional outcomes.
Results
- Engagement scores advanced to top of company-wide employee survey
- Site became role model for engagement and product innovation
- Location tapped for leadership and line staffing for new upscale global initiative
