Product Management
When your product team needs strategic direction to accelerate growth, navigate scaling challenges, or bridge a leadership gap, you need someone who can deliver both immediate results and long-term organizational capability. Whether you're working toward product-market fit, need interim leadership during a transition, or want to optimize your product organization for sustainable growth, the right expertise can make all the difference.
I provide fractional product leadership and strategic product consulting for growing and established companies. With CPO-level knowledge and hands-on experience across diverse product contexts, I step in to do whatever your product function needs—from product strategy and roadmap development to team restructuring and process optimization.
My Partnership Approach
Holistic Leadership: I bring leadership development expertise and conflict resolution skills to product challenges alongside systematic strategic thinking. This means addressing both the business strategy and the human dynamics that determine whether product teams succeed.
Complete Ownership: I take full responsibility for outcomes and work toward sustainable solutions that serve your organization long after our engagement ends. Your success becomes my success.
Capability Building: Rather than creating dependency, I focus on building your team's skills using proven frameworks and training resources. The goal is always working my way out of a job by developing your internal capabilities.
Immediate Impact: What often takes months of assessment and planning, I can typically evaluate and begin addressing within days, getting your product function moving quickly toward better outcomes.
Type of Engagements
Fractional Leadership: Step in as interim product leader during transitions, helping you reach the next level where you can hire permanent leadership or promote from within with confidence.
Strategic Consulting: Assess and optimize your product strategy, roadmap development, market positioning, or organizational structure to accelerate growth and improve team effectiveness.
Team Development: Build product management capabilities across your organization, training your people on proven frameworks while solving current business challenges.
Crisis Resolution: Address urgent product challenges—whether strategic, operational, or organizational—with focused expertise that gets things back on track quickly.
Hands-On Product Execution: Dive directly into product management activities, including customer interviews, requirements gathering, epic and story writing, backlog management, and cross-functional collaboration with engineering and QA teams to move products forward.
What Success Looks Like
Organizations I work with see faster time-to-market, clearer strategic direction, and more effective product teams. More importantly, they develop internal capabilities that continue driving success long after our engagement ends. Teams become more confident in their decision-making, stakeholder relationships improve, and product delivery becomes more predictable and effective.
Whether the engagement is fractional leadership or tactical consulting, the outcome is always the same: a stronger product organization that can scale and succeed independently.
