orchestrates
Arranges the pieces
Orchestrates means to arrange or coordinate elements into an effective whole.
The word comes from orchestrate—to arrange music for an orchestra—but its figurative sense dominates: She orchestrated the entire campaign, He orchestrated a hostile takeover.
The implication is careful planning and control over multiple moving parts, often behind the scenes.
