Operational Change & Change Management

Reducing Student Drop Rates by 20⁠–⁠25%

Replaced optional outreach with scheduled intervention meetings for at-risk students. Drop rates fell 20⁠–⁠25% within six months and stayed there.

Useful anywhere results depend on people opting in: onboarding, product adoption, renewals, or internal programs.

Integration & Restructuring

Leading Post-Acquisition Integration

Led the company-wide integration of an acquired company into its parent university organization, consolidating functions while the business kept operating.

Integrations rarely fail on strategy; they stall in the handoffs between teams. Sequencing the work in stages keeps the business steady while structures change.

Scaling & Growth

Rebuilding an Underperforming Engineering Organization

Audited an outsourced development model, then built and led an in-house engineering, QA, and UX team that remained in place beyond his tenure.

When a team keeps missing deadlines, more pressure rarely fixes it. An outside audit shows whether to strengthen the team, restructure it, or change the model.

Rolling Out New Compliance Requirements to 200+ Instructors

After an acquisition brought new compliance requirements, Speros had team leads and instructors design the new process themselves, then rolled it out to 200+ instructors and TAs. It passed compliance review.

Useful whenever a team has to take on more work or new rules. People push back on changes handed to them, and back the ones they helped shape.
