Fractional CPO & CTO services
Embedded
Embedded product and technology leadership, 1–3 days a week. Strategy, discovery, delivery rhythm, hiring and hands-on engineering — plus a successor plan so the role does not stay fractional forever.
0 → 1
From idea to a shippable, validated MVP with a modern LLM and AI stack. Customer validation, scope discipline, and a go-to-market you can actually run after launch.
Scale & fix
Stalled product, unclear roadmap, or growth that flattened. I restructure the product operation, re-open PLG/SEO/ASO growth loops and make the platform audit-ready for MedTech or FinTech scrutiny.
Full-time
Open to full-time executive product and technology leadership roles for the right mission, team and stage.
