Common situations
Situations I help with
"We need interim product leadership during transition"
Perfect if: You need experienced leadership while recruiting permanent hires
- Product leader has departed and you need continuity
- Growing fast but haven't found the right permanent hire yet
- Want to try before you buy — test leadership approach before permanent hire
"We're making big bets and need strategic product oversight"
Perfect if: You want executive-level guidance and board confidence
- Major product initiatives require experienced oversight
- Board wants confidence in product capability and execution
- Need independent assessment of product strategy and team readiness
"We want external validation of our product approach"
Perfect if: You need independent validation and team development
- Current strategy needs expert review before major investment
- Team capabilities need assessment for upcoming challenges
- Want coaching for existing product leaders to enhance performance
"The board is asking about our AI strategy and we don't have a clear answer"
Perfect if: You need a clear-eyed view of where AI fits before committing
- Board or investors expect an AI position but the team hasn't landed on one
- Uncertain which AI investments are genuine opportunity vs hype
- Need an independent AI readiness assessment before committing budget
