Partner with me

I work with a small number of companies at a time where payments infrastructure, platform scale, or regulated AI is central to what they are building.

Whether you are looking for a full-time product leader, need to stabilize execution during a critical transition, or want a thinking partner grounded in real fintech at scale, here is how we can work together.

Ways to work together

How we can work together

Open to full-time roles

Full-time CPO or VP of Product

For the right company at the intersection of payments, platform scale, and AI, I am open to joining full-time as CPO or VP of Product. Regulated fintech, embedded finance, or enterprise payments where execution depth matters as much as strategy.

Interim product leadership

I step in as CPO or VP Product to stabilize the organization, reset strategy, and drive execution during critical transitions. Typically three to six months with a clear handoff to a permanent leader or internal team.

Discuss an interim engagement

Strategic advisory

Ongoing partnership with CEOs and boards to audit product portfolios, de-risk roadmaps, and build a defensible AI strategy for regulated environments. Structured around your decision calendar, a few days per month.

Product and platform due diligence

Diligence for investors and acquirers covering platform scalability, architecture risk, compliance readiness, and team capability. Delivered as a structured brief, not a slide deck.

Discuss a diligence engagement

Operating Model

What working together looks like

01

A short call, no preparation needed

30 minutes on your context, your constraints, and what you are trying to solve. If I am not the right person to help, I will say so directly.

02

A concrete proposal if there is a fit

If there is a clear way I can help, I will outline the engagement in plain terms: scope, timeline, and what success looks like. Not a long deck.

03

Focused work with a clear outcome

Every engagement ends with you better equipped to move without me, whether that is a hired team, a running operating model, or a completed diligence report.

Start with a conversation

Bring the problem you are sitting with. We will figure out together whether I am the right person to help.

No commitment required. 30 minutes, plain conversation.
