A start-up
Hello all,
I need help with the above verb used in the following context:
On dit toujours que les ingénieurs aiment bien faire de la technique et qu’ils attendent que leur produit soit complètement prêt avant d’aller chez le client, et ils ont une idée préconçue du produit et du besoin. Je crois que le seul conseil qu’on pourrait donner, c’est d’aller très vite chez les clients parce que, en fait, vos clients vont déformer, vont vous faire pivoter, et les pivots, parfois, ça peut tout changer. Dans notre cas, on a embauché un commercial très vite, au bout de quelques mois, et par ce biais-là, on a rencontré un prospect qui est devenu un client, qui a fait pivoter l’entreprise, et ce pivot représente aujourd’hui quasiment 70 % du chiffre d’affaires

Even though he had lived most recently in New York City, Goepp had kept his long-time home in suburban Atlanta, where the SmartBox franchise was located. Though the business was having some challenges, that actually made it appealing, says Goepp. “It had a three-year declining sales trend, lacked branding and messaging, and we could make an asset allocation of the business for pennies on the dollar,” he explains. Having turned around those kinds challenges before in the corporate world, he decided to do it for himself.

reorient, make (the company) pivot
In US EN, pivot is a trendy neologism I started noticing a couple of years ago. Reorient is more traditional but perhaps stodgy, depending on the audience.
Pivot usually is an intransitive verb - i.e., the company pivots or is made to pivot, rather than someone pivoting the company. Reorient is transitive (management reoriented the company, the company reoriented itself, etc.).
