Strategic Plans Translated Into Tangible Impacts
Mini Case Study 1 — Launching a Scalable CTE Portfolio (McGraw Hill)
Challenge: Build a modern Career Education portfolio that could scale fast, hit growth targets, and stay aligned to workforce credentials.
Approach:
Built the portfolio strategy and product roadmap across print + digital.
Stood up cross-functional delivery operating system (intake → prioritization → build cadence → release).
Formed partnerships and alignment strategy to keep offerings credential- and standards-relevant.
Result:
Grew delivery capacity from 2 people / 6 projects to ~20 people / ~20 projects.
Established a repeatable launch system that supported both new builds and rapid customizations.
Accelerated time-to-market by standardizing portfolio governance and execution rhythms.
Mini Case Study 2 — Scaling a CTE Business into a Major Revenue Engine (K12 / Stride)
Challenge: Turn CTE from “nice-to-have” into a scalable, revenue-producing business unit with broad adoption.
Approach:
Designed the end-to-end CTE model: pathway strategy, course architecture, and implementation playbooks.
Built and led multi-disciplinary teams to industrialize course development and rollout.
Partnered across academics, operations, and sales to ensure offerings were adoptable and repeatable.
Result:
Built a $70M+ CTE business.
Launched 200+ career-focused courses (CTE at scale, not boutique).
Supported large-scale implementations across multiple programs and state contexts.
