The Strategy

Turning Disruption into Competitive Advantage

01
The Challenge

Overcoming The Physical Ceiling

When the pandemic hit, ESPI's entire revenue model—dependent on physical classroom density—collapsed overnight. The challenge wasn't just technical; it was existential.

As Product Lead, I convinced stakeholders to abandon the "wait and see" approach. We redefined the company not as a coaching institute, but as a content-first technology platform.

The Execution

Agile War Room Deployment

We didn't have the luxury of a 12-month roadmap. I stood up a cross-functional "War Room" team, focusing on the critical path: Content Delivery and Assessment integrity.

By decoupling the content engine from the user interface, we built a modular system that allowed us to launch a stripped-down but stable MVP in just 60 days, securing our existing student retention.

03
The Scale

Unlocking The B2B Flywheel

Stability was just step one. I recognized that smaller competitors were struggling with the same tech debt. We pivoted the platform to support Multi-Tenancy.

We effectively became the "Shopify for Coaching Institutes," allowing us to onboard 20+ regional partners onto our infrastructure. This transformed a localized crisis into a borderless revenue stream.
