What we do, and how we do it.

Every engagement starts with a conversation about your actual situation — not a service menu. That said, most work falls into one of these areas.

Based in Chicago · Working nationally with B2B SaaS companies

How It Works
Talk.

Tell us what you are dealing with. No pitch, no intake form — just a direct conversation about your situation and whether working together makes sense for both of us.

Scope.

If there is a fit, we send a clear proposal within a week — scope, timeline, deliverables, and price. No ambiguity about what you are getting or what it costs.

Start.

Fractional engagements begin within a week of signing. Project-based work kicks off with a structured onboarding. No long ramp-up cycles.

Ongoing Retainer

Fractional Product Leadership

Your embedded CPO or VP Product

Step into your leadership team as a fractional CPO or VP of Product. Attend leadership and board meetings, own the roadmap, set product strategy, and coach your team — on a retainer structured around what you actually need.

Most fractional engagements run three to six months with an option to extend. The minimum is three months — enough time to see real results.

What's Included
Roadmap ownership and prioritization
Leadership and board-level communication
Product team structure and hiring strategy
OKR and operating cadence design
Weekly leadership meeting participation
Async support between sessions
Ideal For

B2B SaaS companies between $5M and $50M ARR without a senior product executive, or those in transition between permanent hires.

Pricing
Based on scope & engagement

Pricing is determined by hours of engagement, depth of involvement, and contract length. Let's talk about what makes sense for your organization.

What's Included
Market and competitive positioning
Roadmap architecture and sequencing
AI product strategy and roadmap
Board and investor narrative
Executive readout and presentation

Program Management

Steady execution for complex, high-stakes initiatives

Cross-functional execution leadership for complex product and technology initiatives. The steady hand that keeps a big bet moving without drama, missed milestones, or organizational confusion.

What's Included
Cross-functional program structure and governance
Milestone tracking and risk management
Stakeholder communication and reporting
Executive status updates and escalation management
Ideal For

Organizations running a major initiative — a platform migration, a new product line, a regulatory project — that needs dedicated cross-functional leadership.

Positioning and messaging framework
GTM alignment across product, marketing, and sales
Launch readiness assessment and checklist
