The challenge

Following private equity backing, Derivia needed to rebuild its GTM function, moving to a team more aligned to a PE-backed environment with high growth and execution expectations.

What Scene built

Scene partnered with leadership to hire across RevOps and sales, defining the right profiles and refining the hiring approach. Over an 18-month period, six hires were delivered.

The outcome

The rebuild contributed to improved data quality, forecasting, and commercial execution, and drove 15% ARR growth after 10 years of flat performance, positioning Derivia attractively for sale.

What our clients said

If we hadn't had some of the contributions of those sellers Scene hired, we might not be in the position where we're really attractive to be bought.

Other agencies were sending 50 CVs through all looking very similar and not really having the dots joined… Scene helped us move away from that.
