Connecting the investment to an execution roadmap
Investment process leadership, cross-functional approval work, and partnership roadmap development.
Executive approval secured
How I built the investment caseSimplified view of the workflow
Context
A strategic investment required agreement across finance, product, R&D, and legal, alongside a clear explanation of its value to Hyundai’s vehicle business.
Decision & trade-off
During executive review, Hyundai’s President asked how the investment would support the future of Hyundai’s vehicles. The financial case did not fully answer that question. I revised the proposal to make the connection explicit.
My actions
I organized the partnership around three stages: equity investment, EV fleet collaboration, and potential purpose-built vehicle development. I connected this roadmap to the business case and led the cross-functional approval work across finance, product, R&D, and legal.
Outcome
The revised case gained executive approval. It gave leadership a clearer connection between the investment and the proposed collaboration. EV fleet work followed; purpose-built vehicles remained a future direction.
