The Challenge
Transform digital services from a back-end tool into a catalyst for innovation and growth.
Solenis, a global leader in specialty chemicals, acquired Diversey to expand its market presence in water treatment, hygiene, and cleaning solutions. However, digital remained an underutilized asset, scattered across the organization without a clear strategy. Leadership viewed digital as a support function rather than a differentiator, leading to fragmented efforts. Solenis needed a vision to unify its digital initiatives and drive commercial growth.
