One team, plan through results
No handoff. No second team. No re-learning the business.
Plan
Quadrillion co-authors the value creation plan with the CEO and leadership team. During diligence, in the first 100 days, or mid-hold when an existing plan needs a reset. Fixed fee. Portable. Yours to take anywhere.
Execute
Quadrillion runs focused 8-to-12-week sprints against the highest-leverage initiatives. Every sprint has a senior Quadrillion lead, a weekly cadence with your CEO or CFO, and a quantified target tied to the operating plan.
Realize
We measure in the only terms that matter: EBITDA, margin, working capital, and revenue. Every sprint closes against the target it opened with, and the gains hold because your team owns the plan, not us.

Eight sprints.
One operating plan.
Measureable Impact.
Every Quadrillion sprint runs 8 to 12 weeks, is led by a senior operator, and is tied to a named line in the operating plan.
Pricing and margin uplift
When margin is leaking through discounts, discipline, or untested willingness to pay
- List prices, discounts, and segment economics are out of sync with market value
- Sales teams apply inconsistent pricing across customers and deals
- No analytics capability exists to monitor pricing performance in real time
- Competitor pricing and willingness-to-pay insights are not informing decisions
Commercial operations
When revenue growth is stalling and the pipeline can't be trusted
- Pipeline data is unreliable and forecasts are consistently inaccurate
- Quota design does not reflect actual market opportunity
- Go-to-market execution varies significantly across teams and regions
- Sales productivity is flat or declining against industry benchmarks
lift
Digital & AI acceleration
When technology is a cost center, not a value driver
- IT spending exceeds benchmark levels with unclear ROI
- AI initiatives remain stuck in pilot mode with limited business impact
- Legacy systems are slowing operational improvements
- Technology stacks are fragmented across business units
Operational speed uplift
When capacity, cost, or delivery are the bottleneck
- Teams are operating below capacity with limited visibility into constraints
- Lead times are causing customer dissatisfaction and lost opportunities
- Cost per unit is too high to support target margins
- Production KPIs and accountability mechanisms are missing
Procurement cost out
When spend is fragmented and supplier leverage is being left on the table
- Category strategies are inconsistent or not enforced
- Maverick spend remains high across the organization
- Supplier bases have grown without rationalization or tiering
- Procurement opportunities identified during diligence have not been realized
Working capital uplift
When cash is trapped in receivables, payables, or inventory
- Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) exceeds peer benchmarks
- Payment terms leave financing opportunities untapped
- Inventory turns lag behind industry standards
- No working capital dashboard exists to support decision-making
improvement
SG&A
Cost Out
When overhead has outgrown the business and layers are slowing decisions
- Span of control is below peer benchmarks
- Excessive management layers separate leadership from frontline teams
- Shared services opportunities have not been assessed
- SG&A spend exceeds comparable organizations
Finance Transformation
When margin is leaking through discounts, discipline, or untested willingness to pay
- Financial close cycles are too slow to support timely decisions
- KPI reporting is disconnected from the value creation plan
- No operating system links initiatives directly to financial outcomes
- Board and sponsor reporting is heavily manual and time-consuming

Decipher & Deliver book
by George Stelling
“Every CFO has watched transformation capital disappear into programs that no one was willing to honestly evaluate. Decipher & Deliver changes that dynamic with a system built on radical transparency, where ongoing candor and genuine participation replace the polite consensus that kills programs quietly.”
-Donald Colvin, Former Chairman of Maxeon and Former CFO of Atmel

FAQs
Most frequently asked question
Quadrillion Partners is an operator-led performance improvement firm running 90-to-180-day value sprints for PE-backed and public companies. Sprints come in four types: Digital & AI, Go-to-Market, Throughput, and Working Capital. Senior partners take interim line roles (COO, CIO, CFO, Chief Transformation Officer) and own the EBITDA, cash, or growth target the sprint is built around. The firm has delivered $1.2B+ in enterprise value across PE portfolio and public company engagements. Headquartered in Southlake/Plano, Texas.
The big strategy firms recommend. Quadrillion delivers. Senior QP partners run sprints from inside line roles (Interim COO, CIO, CFO, Chief Transformation Officer) and own the EBITDA, cash, or growth target the engagement is built around. Sprints run 90 to 180 days, not multiple years. Outputs are captured value, not decks. PE sponsors typically use strategy firms for diligence and QP for value capture post-close. The two play different roles and frequently coexist on the same asset.
Operating partners sit at the fund and cover the whole portfolio. They are stretched thin and rarely able to embed in one company for 90-to-180 days. Quadrillion supplements operating partners with surge capacity tied to a defined sprint outcome. Operating partners set the thesis. QP runs the play. Sponsors typically engage QP when an asset needs a specific value capture program (EBITDA, working capital, or growth) that requires dedicated operator bandwidth the fund cannot supply internally.
Staffing firms place a single executive into a seat and bill hourly. Quadrillion places a senior operator with a sprint methodology, a delivery team behind them, and accountability against a defined EBITDA, cash, or growth target. The engagement is structured as a 90-to-180-day program with milestones, not an open-ended placement. Pricing is fixed-fee per sprint, not hourly. The difference shows up in who owns the outcome: a staffing firm owns the placement, QP owns the result.
A value creation sprint is a 90-to-180-day operator-led engagement built around a specific EBITDA, working capital, or growth target. Quadrillion runs four sprint types: Digital & AI (productivity, data, AI tooling), Go-to-Market (pricing, sales productivity, channel mix), Throughput (operations and manufacturing), and Working Capital (AR, AP, inventory). A senior QP partner takes an interim line role for the duration, with a delivery team behind them. Sprints can run in parallel or be sequenced based on the value creation thesis.
A Digital & AI sprint is a 90-to-180-day program targeting productivity gains, data infrastructure rationalization, and AI tooling adoption inside a PE-backed or public company. Common scopes include ERP/CRM consolidation, AI-assisted workflow automation across finance and operations, data platform redesign, and IT spend reduction. A senior Quadrillion partner takes the Interim CIO or Interim Chief Transformation Officer seat and owns the EBITDA or run-rate cost target. Outputs are deployed systems and captured savings, not roadmaps.
