From founder-led to a product function
You're funded and growing, and product decisions still run through the founder. You need a product strategy, disciplined roadmap management and your first product team structure.
Between product leaders
Your Head of Product or CPO has left. You need continuity, a steady roadmap and a clean handover to the next hire.
Launching or modernizing a digital product
You're launching, rebuilding or scaling a product. You need a clear vision, launch readiness and the whole business pulling the same way.
AI is one capability we bring when it fits the product and the business.
Responsibilities, agreed up front
Every engagement includes an agreed set of these responsibilities. What we own, and what we decide, is written down at the start.
- Product vision and strategy
- Customer discovery and validation
- Roadmap, prioritization and investment trade-offs
- MVP definition and launch readiness
- Leading and coaching product managers and designers
- Alignment across product, engineering, sales, marketing and operations
- Product metrics and executive reporting
- Pricing and packaging input
- Product-team structure and hiring
- Product updates for leadership, boards and investors
What you receive
- A product strategy and a prioritized roadmap, kept current
- Clear decision rights and a working product rhythm: planning, review and reporting
- Product metrics and regular executive or board reporting
- A stronger product operating model and product/design team
- Where you need it, a hiring plan and a clean handover to a permanent leader
Structured, not open-ended.
- Scope, leadership capacity and duration are agreed after a consultation.
- Remote-first, with on-site time when agreed.
- Reporting to your CEO, founder or accountable business leader.
- Reviewed at agreed points. Extensions are agreed explicitly, never assumed.
- It ends with continued leadership, or a planned transition to a permanent hire.
Product leadership, not a development shop.
We guide technical direction and use hands-on prototyping to support decisions. Building the production product is a separate scope, agreed on its own terms.
If you need someone running the product function every day, we'll talk about interim leadership instead.
Product judgment, proven in regulated and high-stakes work
Product judgment is knowing what is worth fixing first, and where people must stay accountable. In a recent mortgage engagement, Wen established that line before anything was configured: automation coordinates, AI recommends, and loan officers decide.
