Following a significant acquisition in 2022, the newly-combined organisation needed transformational leadership with experience of driving value through integration, particularly in Product and Tech.

Tessiant provided a set of very experienced senior leaders: Chief Product and Technology Officer, Business Performance Director, and Chief Product Officer. They also supplied senior Enterprise Architecture expertise throughout the year.

Tessiant brought robust direction-setting in the critical early days of this complex technology integration, creating and embedding the integrated Product & Tech team. They mobilised the migration of the business’ brands and products; established a new Technical Design Authority and Value-Driven Prioritisation Framework; and moved to a single Microsoft365 tenant. Tessiant also drove team cohesion through events such as the first one-company hackathon, international roadshows, and a new digital comms channel.

Inheriting an organisation numbering c.1500, we removed £40m of people cost and created £7m of additional synergies, while supporting over 50 product launches and increasing employee NPS from -2 to +19 – and growing.

“Tessiant brought the most inspiring and supportive leaders that I have ever worked with throughout my career. Exactly the right leaders that we needed this year: calm, supportive and inspirational”
