Domestic Business Development Case Study

Challenge: 45-day turnaround on a project that evaluated the data network capabilities of the top cellular, paging and satellite service providers in support of a contemplated new service rollout in the US by a client company.

Solution: Time2Market jointly developed a streamlined and comprehensive approach to the project, and conducted research and due diligence on three prospective strategic partners for the client.  Megan's industry expertise was required to rapidly evaluate network coverage, systems and operational capabilities, as well as service contracting terms and parameters. Findings were presented in 30 days.

Result: The scope of findings exceeded the client's expectations. The team quickly delivered key insights for business planning, product/service development and partner contracting, and the client could immediately move forward with market entry.

"Megan collaborated with our team of industry specialists, helping formulate and implement a rapid response for our client, and ensuring project success.   She delivered very high quality work, which exceeded client expectations. I had previously worked with Megan at AirTouch and continue to work with her business, Time2Market."

International Strategy & Business Development Case Study

Challenge: A senior vice president of business development needed resources to spearhead his company's entry into select European markets. He had no business development experts that could work all three new product and service initiatives across multiple countries. He needed an experienced director who could ensure the company was ready to launch these markets within a short timeframe.

Solution: Megan led and contributed to strategic initiative development and execution. She formulated and worked on business teams, with internal and external partners from multiple countries, to get projects initiated, approved, funded and implemented.  She effectively managed regulatory, legal, technology, financial and marketing issues, as well as cross-organizational resources, for project success at parent and subsidiary companies.

Result: Within 9 months, Megan had ensured that businesses were registered and licensed to operate in two countries and corresponding business and marketing plans were in place for approval.  In addition, key operational assets and resources had been secured for launch, and management training was underway to build internal business development expertise for additional market entrance.

"Megan ensures strategic initiatives are swiftly executed in an expert fashion, delivering results that enable competitive positioning and business, product and service launch in record time."
