Case Studies

DesignRush 2019–2022

Scaling a B2B Directory from Zero to 14k Agencies

The Challenge

A 4-person startup wanted to become the go-to B2B directory for brands to find agencies. They had zero agencies in the directory and no team to source them.

The Result

Built outreach team from scratch (0→30 people), designed and executed large-scale prospecting campaigns, and grew directory from 0→14,000 agencies in 3 years. Company scaled to 100+ employees.

CFC Big Ideas 2023–Present

Connecting Ukrainian Tech to GCC Investment

The Challenge

Ukrainian tech companies and innovations had no clear pathway to GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) investors. Cultural and market gaps made direct outreach ineffective.

The Result

Developed cross-border business development strategy, sourced investment partnerships, and facilitated connections between Ukrainian businesses and GCC partners. Leveraged dual market presence (Kyiv/Abu Dhabi).

Thomson Reuters 2016–2017

Eastern Market Research & Tool Development

The Challenge

Thomson Reuters needed insights into complex corporate relationships across Eastern markets and a tool to analyze cross-regional data efficiently.

The Result

Analyzed corporate hierarchies across Cyprus, China, India, and Malaysia. Led development of Thomson Reuters Translation Tool. Trained and coordinated global teams.
