The Challenge
Challenge: HALO, a billion-dollar, global leader in branded merchandise, was navigating significant organizational 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 modernize both its technology organization 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, modernize operations, optimize organizational performance, and identify opportunities for innovation and cost savings.

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 organizational modernization. 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.
