I help teams make hard product decisions.

I’ve led product at Paper and across a private-equity portfolio, and co-founded Openfair. I work with founders, investors, and leadership teams when they need to decide what to build, what to fix, or where AI is worth using.

Where I’ve led product and built companies

Product & AI Strategy Sprint

We take one important product or technology decision and work out what to do next.

Typically 1–2 weeks, depending on scope

Bring a decision to make

  • Is this idea worth building?
  • Why has adoption stalled?
  • Where would AI save time or improve the product?

What you leave with

Depending on scope, you might leave with a product assessment, an AI opportunity review, or a prioritized roadmap. We can scope a concept or prototype separately.

How the sprint works

  1. Understand

    Get clear on the business, customers, and the decision.

  2. Investigate

    Look at the evidence and where the tradeoffs are.

  3. Set a direction

    Choose the next steps and put them in order.

  4. Review together

    Walk through the findings and plan with your team.

After an introductory conversation, I’ll propose an approach, timeline, and fee. We agree on the scope before work starts.
