Case Studies
Selected examples of executive product, technology, platform and transformation leadership across global enterprise, infrastructure and high-growth environments.
Believ
An investor-backed EV charging business was scaling on a licensed platform that capped its cost position, its pace and its ability to differentiate. As Chief Technology & Innovation Officer, James Wehner built the product and technology function, took control of the core platform through acquisition, and reset the economics beneath a growing national network.
McDonald's
McDonald's self-order kiosk began as a local pilot and became one of the group's most significant digital channels. James Wehner made the case for leading it as a global product, then designed, staffed and ran the function behind it — reaching approximately $5.5bn in annual channel revenue by the time he left.
Avon
Avon ran digital and technology as a fragmented estate across more than 50 markets, with the duplicated cost, inconsistent capability and weak investment visibility that follows. James Wehner set the strategy to consolidate it onto a shared global foundation, redesigned the operating model and sourcing, and gave executive leadership a clear view of where technology money went.
