Get to know Rocket Factory
Todd Feldman knows mid-market CEOs are feeling increasing pressure from all sides: They’re having trouble keeping up with how customers want to do business, employees who demand a greater connection with the company’s mission and vision, and the constant board pressure to stay ahead even in times of constant volatility.
Organizations in every industry must remain flexible and relevant to maximize strategic investments properly. So, in early 2020, Todd formed Rocket Factory to help CEOs see blind spots in their planning processes, avoid unwanted surprises, better anticipate disruption, and align teams quickly around new ways to go to market.
Todd works with C-suite leaders through a joint process designed to accelerate alignment across the organization. His work allows new ideas to come to life. He conducts workshops designed to speed up planning, provides interim executive leadership to support the teams, or brings in his team to meet the most demanding requirements.
Beyond a new strategic plan, Todd leaves them with a new way of thinking that identifies problems sooner and implements a company-wide solution that all stakeholders can buy into.
He brings more than 30 years of experience working in both client- and vendor-side senior leadership roles with companies of all shapes and sizes. Companies choose him because, along with his creative approach to accelerating success, he applies data-first business practices that regularly drive results that are more than three times likely to achieve success than what they would have achieved without him.
No buzzwords. No fluff. No shiny objects.
Just deep, deliberate rigor around how business plans fail and what it takes to ensure it doesn’t happen to his clients.
