Engage

Advisory, fractional leadership & board

Engagements are built around outcomes, a clear cadence, and explicit decision rights: whether you need a sparring partner, part-time executive leadership, or governance depth on the board.

Strategic advisory

For founders, CEOs, and leadership teams: product direction, a grounded AI roadmap, operating model, product org design, and decisive calls on high-stakes trade-offs.

  • Executive workshops and decision framing
  • Product roadmap and portfolio alignment
  • AI investment sequencing (what to build vs buy vs embed)
  • Partnering with leaders on stakeholder dynamics and operating rhythm

Fractional CPO / CPTO

When you need senior product and technology leadership without a permanent full-time hire, or while you search for the long-term leader. Cadence and scope are explicit: leadership meetings, team rituals, hiring support, and cross-functional alignment.

  • Operating cadence matched to stage and risk
  • Lifting quality and leadership depth in the product organisation, not only throughput
  • Interim leadership through scale-up, turnaround, or transformation

Board roles & governance

I take on a small number of board-related roles when software, product, data, or AI are central to how the company creates value and where it takes risk. That can mean independent director mandates or advisory boards, where the work is real and a good match with what I have done before.

If you are exploring a conversation, a short note is enough: stage, sector, why product and technology matter at board level, and any thoughts on time commitment or committee involvement.

  • Oversight of product, technology, and AI direction
  • Scale-up, platform, and engineering and culture risk
  • Sounding board on product due diligence and large technology or product bets
