Global Holding Company:
Transformational Platform

The Inflection Point

The CEO of the world's largest agency holding company faced a deeply personal challenge with global business implications. Having navigated cancer himself, this globally recognized leader envisioned something transformational: a white-label platform that every business in the world could use to support employees facing serious health challenges.

The complexity was unprecedented. Building for human vulnerability within professional contexts while creating a solution that could work across any organization, any culture, anywhere in the world. This high-visibility initiative needed to deliver measurable value while proving that strategic design thinking could translate personal vision into scalable business reality.
