When I’m not building my own products, I enjoy working with early stage companies to help them build theirs. I have full range of experience from having founded my own startups and working on large scale products at Shopify.
Contact me to see how I can help or see below for some of the services I can offer in more detail.
Developing product management thinking at your company
If you’re a founder or CTO of an early stage company, you’re probably playing the role of product manager yourself. You own the roadmap and decide what gets built. This is vital in the early days, especially as you’re building out your MVP. You need to move quickly.
But as you gain traction and your development team grows, “winging it” no longer works as well as it used to. Gut decisions and sloppy requirements can lead to dead-on-arrival features. It’s time to get more disciplined with your product management.
Examples of things I can help you with:
- Tooling & software selection
- Systematizing feedback collection
- Agile methodology best practices
- Interviewing and hiring your first PM (at the right stage)
