The Challenge
Challenge: HALO, a billion-dollar, global leader in branded merchandise, was navigating significant organisational and technology challenges following the departure of its CIO. Simultaneously, they faced an underperforming custom OMS, growing tech-debt, fragmented product strategy, rising operational costs and the need to modernise both its technology organisation and customer experience.
HALO engaged Chameleon Collective to provide executive product and technology leadership, to establish a long-term transformation strategy, and strengthen key business capabilities.
Our Approach
Approach: Serving as Interim CPTO, Jon Michel Greenwood partnered with the CEO and executive leadership to define product and technology strategy, modernise operations, optimise organisational performance, and identify opportunities for innovation and cost savings.
Recognising HALO's transformation extended beyond technology, Jon assembled and led a multidisciplinary Chameleon Collective leadership team to accelerate product modernisation and organisational change.
The Impact
Impact: Jon established an integrated product and technology vision that aligned HALO's business strategy with scalable operations, customer-centric product development and organisational modernisation. By expanding the engagement beyond executive technology leadership, he assembled a cross-functional team of senior Product, Creative and Design leaders who accelerated transformation initiatives across multiple business functions while enabling HALO to build stronger long-term internal capabilities.
