Case study
Scaling an EV charging company's operations from startup to IPO.
Building the manufacturing and supply chain backbone underneath a national EV charging company as it scaled from $5M to $120M in quarterly revenue.
The challenge
The company needed to scale manufacturing and supply chain fast enough to keep up with national demand for EV charging hardware, without the vendor ecosystem or ramp governance in place to do it reliably across multiple countries.
Outcome
Product operations and strategic manufacturing scaled with the company from $5M to $120M in quarterly revenue, seed stage through IPO, over 4+ years.
Approach
- 1
Built a vendor ecosystem with standardized scorecards and quarterly business reviews (QBRs), so every supplier was held to the same operating bar as the company scaled.
- 2
Set up ramp governance across multi-country manufacturing rollouts, so new production lines could come online without breaking the ones already running.
- 3
Led an onsite intervention that stabilized a failing contract manufacturer, protecting a critical link in the supply chain during a high-growth period.
