As a senior consultant working at the executive level, Damon personally led massive technology and operational transformations for companies ranging from pre-revenue start-ups to Fortune 500. His work at the very top of these organizations to accomplish changes that were too large or complicated for internal staff in situations where "everything was on the line", made Damon a trailblazer in the nascent profession of Interim Executive Leadership. These projects were rooted in the replacement of massive multi-million dollar information systems and required business process innovation on a global scale, and all were "bleeding edge" innovations at the time.
