I help SaaS product teams get senior product leadership now — not in six months when the permanent hire finally starts. Below is how I help your team grow, and how we might structure the engagement.
Most teams have a feature backlog. Few have a coherent strategy that ties every bet back to commercial outcomes. I help your product team design for leverage — so you build it once and open new markets with it. That means clear priorities, measurable goals, and a roadmap that flexes without collapsing, so your team can own the board narrative and execute with confidence.
Pricing, packaging, segment focus, and the story you take to market. I help your product and commercial teams find the positioning and commercial model that turns product decisions into revenue outcomes — whether you're entering a new market, sharpening your ICP, or repositioning for growth.
I help defuse the politics that build up between commercial and technical teams by speaking both languages fluently. I understand the pressures engineering faces — deadlines, technical debt, resource constraints — and I translate commercial priorities into terms the technical team can act on, and technical realities into language leadership understands. That alignment reduces friction, accelerates decisions, and keeps the product organisation pulling in the same direction.
Building a product team that ships with confidence takes more than hiring. I help your product managers grow through coaching, establish rituals that stick, and put in place decision-making frameworks — so the product function scales with capability, not dependency on me.
Before your team commits engineering months to a build, I help them with customer discovery frameworks and workshops to validate the problem, the solution, and the willingness to pay — with competitor analysis, market alignment, ROI case, roadmap impact, and time-to-value estimate built into every recommendation. Fast, evidence-based validation that protects your runway and sharpens the team's conviction before a single line of code is written.
The product narrative can make or break a raise. I help your leadership team craft the metrics story, roadmap defensibility, and growth thesis that investors want to hear — drawing on experience from multiple funding rounds and exits, so your team owns the room.
When your CPO leaves and you can't afford a gap, I step alongside your product team to keep them aligned, the roadmap credible, and stakeholders calm — while coaching the team and helping you run a proper search for the permanent hire.
No long-term retainers or lock-in. You hire a fractional CPO or product director in the shape that fits your stage and budget.
For founders who need a senior product voice in the room — board prep, strategy reviews, key decisions, and occasional team coaching. I help your product leadership raise their game without taking over.
The most common arrangement. I work alongside your product team as a senior partner — shaping roadmap, guiding discovery, coaching the team, and supporting stakeholder communication. Your team builds capability while getting the leadership they need, without the £150k+ salary.
When you need someone in the seat full-time for a fixed period — typically covering a CPO departure, leading through a fundraise, or driving a critical transformation. I help the team stay aligned and productive while building the foundations for the permanent hire.
If any of the above sounds familiar, drop me a line. Initial conversations are free and there's no pitch at the end of them.
