Selected advisory work

I help teams figure out what should be built — and get it through execution.

I take on a small number of fractional, advisory and project-based engagements where the business problem is important, the product is not yet obvious and leadership needs someone who can connect strategy, customers, engineering and delivery.

The Product Execution Sprint.

10 business days to unblock an important initiative.

I help founders and technology teams get stalled or poorly defined product initiatives moving again. I identify what's blocking progress, resolve critical product decisions and organize the team around a clear execution plan.

Days 1–3

Diagnose the blockers, business goals and delivery constraints.

Days 4–6

Decide the scope, priorities, trade-offs and success criteria.

Days 7–10

Mobilize the team with requirements, ownership and delivery cadence.

The outcome

Agreed priorities, actionable requirements, clear owners and an execution plan your team can use immediately. This is execution readiness, not a promise that a complete product will be built in ten days.

Best for an existing company with engineering capacity, a bounded high-priority initiative and decision-makers available during the sprint.

Ongoing fractional product leadership

Senior product judgment where ambiguity is slowing the team down.

Best for software companies with engineering capacity and a consequential product problem, but too much ambiguity between the business objective, customer need and what the team should actually build next.

Engagement structure

For companies ready for sustained delivery ownership, I work on a defined monthly fractional retainer with agreed capacity, decision rights and execution responsibilities. A sprint is not required when the need for embedded leadership is already clear.

Fundraising advisory

Sharper fundraising strategy from someone who has sat on both sides of the table.

I help early-stage founders prepare for and run a stronger venture raise: clarifying the story, tightening investor materials, structuring the process and pressure-testing financing decisions.

Advisory covers strategy, preparation and process. I do not offer broker-dealer services or success-fee capital solicitation.

Good fit

Bring me the important problem your team has not quite figured out yet.

I work alongside founders and engineering teams on consequential product work: clarifying ambiguous problems, making critical trade-offs and driving the path from customer signal through product decision to execution.
