Fractional CPO

We boost product teams at mid/late stage tech companies to achieve their biggest milestones.

We've helped companies in B2B/enterprise SaaS, marketplaces, telcos, and ranging form pre-seed to pre-IPO.

We specialize in product strategy, leadership team transitions, and strategic product delivery. We typically start by auditing the product and teams. Then we focus on your strategic goals and start executing to reach them. Our preference is to jump in and get our hands dirty at every step.

Fractional CPO - Board member

i’ve been called a chaos engineer, a systems thinker, the guy you call when your product challenges feel unsolvable—i’ll take it.

as the founder of Fractional CPO, i think in systems, automations, and outcomes that matter. i don’t do
roadmaps. i don’t do over hiring. i don’t do endless meetings.

i ship, optimize and grow products—fast. 

a hands on approach that has resonated with modern companies like Deloitte, McKinsey, Instacart and Atomic.vc who trust Fractional CPO to help them build products that capture market share quickly.

a bit about myself:

- i’ve had exits, failures and everything in between as a 4x founder and former exec
- lived in 16+ countries before university - then I stopped counting
- trained to achieve my 2nd-degree black belt in Taekwondo
- meditation retreats are my mental reset
- the guy you call when you need a ride to the airport

one of my core beliefs is the power of a tribe—people who show up for each other, without being asked. this belief inspired the creation of Helpful Podcast—where I dig into the messiness of building, failing, and the people who show up when it counts.

let’s connect and build something real.
