Within 36 months BlueInGreen was transformed. What was a desperation play in mid-2017 became an unexpected recovery of a previous decade's investments. After 14 years of historical losses BlueInGreen began generating cash and was sold for >20x EBITDA. The turnaround was planned and executed through an intentional focus on specifically prioritized targets/target industries, a right-sized organizational structure and some key investments in people and CapEx.

"It was a pleasure to work with Scott. While his title was financial, his deep curiosity and drive to make things work found him engaged in many aspects of the business. Whether it was looking into technical design issues or picking up the phone to talk with a customer, there was no stone Scott would leave unturned to make sure we were successful. Scott helped manage the key period of our transformation from startup to profitable business, and I don't think we could have done it without him. Scott was not an ivory tower leader, he was in it with us, learning and teaching."
