Case Study: Cytiva achieves stronger executive leadership and communication with AceUp coaching

Cytiva - Customer Case Study

Cytiva (formerly GE Healthcare Life Sciences) engaged AceUp to help Garland Grant, Global Product Management Leader, advance from a strong manager to a “leader of leaders.” Garland needed personalized, one‑on‑one executive coaching to develop soft skills—especially executive presence, stakeholder influence, difficult conversations, and cross‑team collaboration—that generic leadership courses hadn’t delivered.

AceUp provided bi‑weekly one‑on‑one executive coaching, establishing focused frameworks and 12–18 month goals across competencies like Communicating Effectively, Influencing Stakeholders, and Managing Conflicts. As a result, Garland reports concrete improvements: a clearer, holistic career vision, more effective capability meetings with his manager, stronger stakeholder communication, immediately actionable leadership practices, and better focus and mindfulness in his day‑to‑day work — outcomes he attributes directly to AceUp’s coaching.
