Fractional Chief Product & Technology Officer
Where product and engineering need one owner rather than two functions negotiating: roadmap, discovery, delivery, and the commercial case, held together by a single accountable executive who has built platforms from zero to revenue.
This is for you if
- Product and engineering each believe the other is the bottleneck
- The roadmap is a list of features with no commercial argument attached
- You are pre-product-market-fit and cannot afford two executive hires
- A platform needs rebuilding around an API rather than extended again
What the engagement includes
One roadmap, one owner
Discovery, prioritisation and delivery under a single accountability, with the trade-offs made explicit rather than negotiated between functions.
Platform and API strategy
Platform-first architecture over monolithic build — the difference that has taken feature velocity up threefold and time-to-market from months to weeks.
The commercial case
Pricing, packaging and the partner or channel motion that gets a product in front of buyers who already have budget.
Zero to first revenue
MVP delivery and the first release, then the operating rhythm that keeps shipping after the launch adrenaline wears off.
How it usually runs
Typically two to four days a month, agreed up front, with a standing weekly slot and availability between. Engagements run in three-month terms so both sides can reassess honestly.
What it is not
Not a product manager. This is the executive who sets the direction the product managers execute against.
Bring the brief, or the empty seat.
Two paragraphs is enough. You’ll get an honest read on fit, timeline, and cost within two business days.
