Championing The CEO as You Are Scaling and Growing

We know that being a CEO is like navigating a Formula 1 car while simultaneously playing chess with eight opponents — it’s intense, every move counts, and focus is fundamental. In our fast-paced world, establishing a people and purpose-driven culture is not just beneficial — it’s essential. However, to truly excel, this culture will seamlessly embrace the CEO-Centric Approach.


Our CEO-Centric Approach offers a transformative exploration into the world of CEOs and how understanding their perspective can elevate your performance, and your approach to building high performance, thriving cultures.  Essentially, we add subtitles to the conversation for everyone around you. Without scalable and future-oriented methods to attract and retain High Achievers who align with your company’s values and mindset, you risk experiencing low engagement, and losing your top talent. Worse yet, you might inadvertently invite toxicity into your company, putting everything you’ve worked for at risk.

Welcome to Reimaginez

We are so glad you’re here
We can’t wait to talk to you about high performance thriving cultures

3x Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), positioning the company as the dominant player in their niche

Client: High-growth, VC-backed life sciences company headquartered in the US.

Challenge: Engage a mixed culture of High Performers and Cruisers to develop and scale a High Achieving Culture during an unprecedented period of growth, fundraising, growing pains, and new business.

Results: To implement a cultural transformation, we focused on a mix of strategic, tactical, and operational programs and initiatives. Reimaginez implemented several cultural initiatives and training and development programs, which enabled the team to experience a 50% increase in growth with High Performers.

To level up the team, we implemented several Futuristic Leadership Programs for management and next-generation leaders to strengthen and level up the teams. Alongside the client, we also advanced the culture and leadership from a mixed performance to a High Achieving Culture.

 

We helped the company to develop a proven recruitment methodology to attract more culturally aligned High Performers; the client adopted and implemented the proprietary processes, models, and frameworks that included The People and Purpose Centric Recruit on Culture Framework™.

 

We helped the company shift to a fully-remote model, align resources and people, and scale the company. Additionally, we leveraged product-market fit to increase market share that led to becoming the dominant player in their niche by creating a 3x growth in Annual Recurring Revenue in one year.

 

45% Revenue Increase During the Pandemic for an 18-year-old company

Client: Founder and CEO of an 18-year-old high-growth SaaS company in Europe with over nearly 200 million USD in annual revenue and a significant presence in 38 countries.

Challenge: Strengthen and align the CEOs, management team, and the board, remove roadblocks of internal conflicts to scale and set the company up for success with a strategic and cultural plan.

Results: With an already thriving culture, company leadership needed help navigating challenges that included removing toxic individuals and refinancing the company. Therese worked directly with the CEO to elevate his leadership and public image, partner with stakeholders, and thrive under extreme pressure. There was also success in strengthening the management team, leveling up performance throughout the company, and improving cultural initiatives. 

Therese also provided long- and short-term strategic, operational, and tactical support to scale and set the direction of the company with the 2028 vision in mind. These pillars helped the client align the board and leadership on collaboration, strengthen the culture of kindness and performance, and execute initiatives to substantially outperform growth targets. 

The outcome of addressing these challenges swiftly resulted in a 45% growth in revenue which is the best year-over-year (YOY) in the company’s history.

 

 

Merging Two Rival Companies Into One Thriving Company and Culture

Client: High-growth, VC-backed life sciences company headquartered in the US.

Challenge: A (smaller) company, our client, acquired a (larger) competitor making it crucial to align and integrate two competing companies on culture, leadership, and strategy. Not only did these competitors differ in dynamics and cultures, but also languages, foundations, challenges, and opportunities. Some might have called the environment of the acquired company mediocre or challenged.

Results: To successfully orchestrate a cultural integration, it was crucial to get the key players to agree on a joint vision that would provide a common ground to perform, collaborate, and thrive as a single unit. Reimaginez worked with the c-suite and key stakeholders of each of the companies to establish a deep level of trust and support. Uncovering unifying threads around values, goals, and leadership and developing and implementing the cultural integration plan ensured a smooth integration, setting them up for future success and exponential growth.

 

 

Successfully Scaling a Fast-Growing Multinational by Connecting a Thriving Culture with Corporate Performance

Client: Founder and CEO of a fast-growing SaaS company in Europe with over 145 million USD in annual revenue and a significant presence in 38 countries.

Challenge: Developing and strengthening a thriving culture through significant growth and international expansion.

Results: The underlying challenges for this Founder was managing international growth without diluting their culture from an influx of new people while driving exceptional performance and more than doubling their revenue. The Founder and Therése together developed innovative strategies and processes to drive a thriving people and purpose-centric culture throughout the organization connecting their culture directly with their performance. The new initiatives achieved the company’s targets ahead of schedule expanding into new countries and significantly increasing revenue in multiple markets. The company has continued accelerating with a strengthening culture dedicated to their core values and ambitious vision.

 

 

Saving an 9.7 million USD ARR Subsidiary from Collapsing

Client: Founder and CEO of a fast-growing SaaS company in Europe, with 145 million USD in annual revenue and a significant presence in 38 countries.

Challenge: One of their subsidiaries was about to crash with 9.7 million USD in annual revenue.

Results: Therése and the CEO analyzed the situation to uncover the root cause. Together they developed in-depth strategies and advanced techniques to launch a cultural transformation and make the necessary personnel changes. This solution followed the realignment of business operations, which strengthened the commitment of high achievers; ultimately saving the business.

 

 

Transforming Leadership —  From Innovator to Thriving CTO in Climate Tech

Client: Seed stage Climate Tech company based in Massachusetts

Challenge: This first-time founder faced the complexities of leading a high-growth, innovative technical company. The CTO was looking to grow his team, deal with the demands of being a cofounder, and develop his leadership and commercial skills while navigating the challenges of a fast-paced startup environment.

Results: We delivered The High Performance Founder Program to guide, support, and champion this new cofounder and CTO to thrive as a founder and leader. The program focused on helping him navigate the startup rollercoaster during his transition from working in a startup to running one and peak his performance individually and within the cofounding team. We worked closely with the CTO to codify and solidify the foundation of their company culture, bringing current team members together and enabling team growth.

 

During the program, the CTO substantially expanded his team, which became the largest in the company. He learned to thrive as a founder, effectively stepping into his role while remaining active as an innovator in the lab.

 

The program also helped him engage in early-stage initiatives and grow as a leader, learning to lead High Achievers, elevate High Potentials from strategic and operational perspectives, and build a scalable cultural foundation. Having witnessed the importance of culture in his previous company, the CTO understood the significance of getting it right and investing in it early. 

 

The program’s success is evident in his flourishing role as both founder and CTO, showcasing his growth and thriving leadership in the dynamic climate tech industry.

 

 

 

Turning a Brilliant Scientist with a Successful Corporate Career into a Thriving Startup CEO

Client: Founder and CEO of a successful startup within MedTech in Boston.

Challenge: Mastering the startup CEO rollercoaster of a million things to do while keeping himself and his teams delivering strong results.

Results: This Founder’s underlying challenges were balancing briefings from lab studies, pitching investors, getting ready for FDA approval, and later commercialization all at the same time. Together with Therése, they worked on designing and scaling a thriving culture while building out the team with complementary competencies and a strong cultural alignment, training the Founder in pitching and negotiating effectively, and helping him grow into the leader he always wanted to be.
