When Leadership Gaps Threatened the Deal, Rapid Response Kept the Acquisition on Track

 

CG Infinity’s Rapid Response Consulting team is designed for moments when delivery is under pressure. The team integrates quickly into complex environments to stabilize operations, reinforce leadership, and keep critical initiatives moving forward without disruption.

Justin Wilson, Principal at CG Infinity, describes an engagement where the team was brought in to support a data and cloud migration under tight timelines. Midway through the project, the client made the decision to let their CTO go—right in the middle of an active acquisition. The sudden loss of technical leadership introduced immediate risk to delivery and deal timing. CG Infinity rapidly mobilized additional leadership and technical expertise, stabilized execution, optimized the cloud environment to reduce Azure spend, and ensured the project met its deadline. The acquisition closed successfully, and the initiative stayed on track.

This is the power of Rapid Response: experienced professionals stepping in at critical moments to absorb complexity, restore control, and deliver results when the stakes are highest.
