Chris P.

Product strategy consulting for B2B SaaS and platform businesses navigating complexity.

I work with product leaders, founders, and executive teams on three types of engagements:

Product Strategy Engagements: When product direction is unclear, portfolios are fragmented after acquisition, or positioning needs to sharpen. I help define product strategy that connects customer value, platform decisions, and commercial outcomes. Typical duration: 2-4 months.

Product Roadmap Development: When roadmaps have become wishlists or stakeholder management theater. I facilitate prioritization, resolve trade-offs, and create roadmaps grounded in what teams can actually deliver. Includes operating model design for sustainable roadmap discipline. Typical duration: 1-3 months.

Product Audit & Advisory: When product-market fit is unclear, platform decisions are stalling, or delivery is fragmenting. I diagnose the real constraints and provide clear recommendations on what to change. Fast turnaround for boards, investors, or new product leaders needing situational clarity. Typical duration: 2-6 weeks.

Common client situations:

- Post-acquisition: Multiple products, unclear portfolio strategy

- Scale-up strain: Product decisions bottlenecking growth

- Platform complexity: Technical debt threatening delivery

- PMF uncertainty: Traction exists but category position unclear

I combine 20 years of executive product and technology leadership with boutique engagement flexibility. You get strategic depth without executive commitment overhead.
