Culturally-driven companies achieve 18% more revenue per employee than the average. As the saying goes, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” Culture is a way to drive behavior, and it can be codified. It is a way to align people with shared values to support each other in overcoming challenges and achieving ambitious goals. Culture impacts everything from productivity, engagement, and customer loyalty to talent retention, speed of innovation, growth, and, of course, profitability.

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.
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.
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.
10x Deal Sizes
Client: Serial Founder and CEO of a Series-A health-tech company in the US.
Challenge: Scaling up yearly revenue and closing large commercial partnerships to secure market share.
Results: The underlying challenge was a disconnect between the goals, strategies, and priorities within the company, especially between the engineering and commercial teams. Steps taken included aligning the company around a united vision and strengthening their culture, followed by a targeted commercial strategy focused on clearer dream personas and value propositions. These initiatives resulted in increasing the average deal size by more than ten times.
Developing Six Innovations with One of Them Worth $3.5M in Revenue Over Four Years
Client: High-growth, Series B life sciences company based in Massachusetts.
Challenge: Despite an established market share and early successes, the company had lost some of its innovative edge. They were looking to reignite the creative and innovative spirit they were founded upon and develop innovative high-value products and services to grow market share and revenue.
Results: Over ten months, we delivered our Innovation Reimagined Program to several senior technical leaders, including the CTO. The program’s goal was to develop an innovation culture, an innovation mindset among the leaders, and develop one innovation that was ready for launch with a significant impact on revenue.
During the program, we explore the customer-centric philosophy and strategy alongside looking at innovation, market opportunities, and value-creation for the customers in a more holistic and analytical way while applying creativity and design thinking to the process.
The program didn’t only develop one innovation but six in total. They were created in collaboration with the company’s dream customers, aligned with the vision of the company, and in service to the market. This market pull instead of market push approach helped the company create a unique and tailored innovation strategy with products and services desired by the market and a readiness to buy.
One of the innovations alone was worth half a million year one and one million per year for the following three. Besides the overall value of $3.5M in revenue for one innovation alone, the additional innovations secured the company’s competitiveness in the market and additional revenue with high profitability.
Besides developing six innovations in two different product categories, the team members also ended up closing a significant deal with one of the dream customers who they co-created with during the program.
In essence, this customer-centric innovation program enabled the development of a strong culture of innovation, amplified the company’s impact and strategic direction, and brought in more revenue than the founder could imagine before we started.
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.
