PE-Backed Healthcare Multimedia Firm (Gladstone Capital Portfolio Company)

Client Challenge

  • A PE-backed healthcare multimedia firm was navigating a CEO transition while developing a multi-million-dollar hospital data analytics product

  • Development costs were excessive, internal technical expertise was thin, and business continuity through the leadership change was at risk

  • Without senior technical leadership, the analytics product was in danger of going off the rails

  • Product Development Optimization: Reviewed the analytics product end to end, identified inefficiencies, and drove strategic design changes that cut cost while improving functionality

  • Internal Capability Building: Architected the transition from third-party development to in-house teams — SOPs, role design, organizational structure, and full-cycle recruiting and onboarding

  • Agile Implementation: Established agile delivery to accelerate the product while protecting quality

Client Impact Results

  • Cost Efficiency: Reduced product development costs by approximately 74% through design changes and in-house capability

  • Time-to-Market: Launched MVP Version 1 in under 3 months

  • Revenue Growth: Contributed to a 10% increase in sales revenue through strategic recommendations

  • Leadership Continuity: Onboarded the new CEO while preserving operational momentum

Client Technologies

  • Healthcare data analytics platform design

  • Agile development methodology
