Product help for teams building something hard
I've taken a platform from first pitch to enterprise contracts, shipped machine learning into an industry that ran on intuition, and I currently lead AI servicing product at a major bank. I work with a small number of teams part-time, on the problems where an outside read is worth more than another headcount.

Send me the shape of the problem and I'll come back with availability and a suggested scope.
What each engagement includes
Engagements are scoped to a specific question, with a defined end. I'd rather do one thing that lands than sit on a retainer.
AI product strategy
Where AI actually earns its place in your product, and where it's an expensive way to do something simpler. I do this daily in a regulated environment, which tends to sharpen the question.
Advisory · scoped0→1 discovery
You have a hypothesis and a deadline. Customer discovery, problem framing, and an honest read on whether the thing is worth building before you staff it.
Sprint · 2–4 weeksRoadmap & prioritization
Facilitated sessions that end in a sequence your team believes and your leadership can follow, including the part where you say no to something.
Workshop · half or full dayProduct org & process audit
Shipping feels slow and nobody agrees why. An outside look at how work actually moves, where it stalls, and which of your rituals are load-bearing.
Audit · 2–3 weeksPM team coaching
Working directly with your PMs on discovery, writing, and stakeholder management. Useful when you've hired well but the team is newer than the problems.
Ongoing · part-timeEntering a new industry
I've shipped product in six of them. If you're moving into an unfamiliar domain, I can shorten the part where you learn what the customers actually care about.
Advisory · scopedHere for your own career rather than a team? I also coach product managers one-to-one.
