Startup Consulting

What I help with:

I work with tech companies who need some product management or product strategy help in a contract or part-time way. I will partner with you to figure out the best way to integrate into your team to make maximum impact. Examples:

• Early-stage tech startups: especially if you're a founder with subject-matter expertise but no tech background-- I help you get your product function and process off the ground. This includes anything from teaching your team best-in-class product practices, helping you form and build your MVP, creating your first product strategy and roadmap, identifying a product hiring plan, to coaching your product hires.

• Interim PM support (you have a PM on leave, or you're hiring for a full-time PM but need someone in the meantime to see a few things through)

• Specialist PM expertise (consumer, consumer subscription businesses, social/community products)

As a former top-performing product manager, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise, particularly in building business-moving consumer tech products, successful subscription businesses, and ML-powered, technically-complex products. As a leadership and executive coach & facilitator, I bring in expertise on how to grow people, as well as insights on how to improve team effectiveness.

What I help with:

I help teams run more effectively -- hitting business goals but also feeling empowered. I especially focus on product teams/orgs and leadership teams, but love working with any team that is needing to level up.

I will partner with you, the leader of the team, to diagnose the areas to focus on before we put together a plan for how to support your team. I take a look at people, process, and the product(s) you're responsible for. Our solution may include any or all of the following:

• Consulting on people/org structure and strategy

• Thought partnership on product / strategy / KPIs

• 1:1 coaching/training of individuals, including the leader

• Facilitating workshops to spot-treat weak areas

• Facilitating team meetings (like retrospectives, retreats, etc)

• Facilitate 360 team feedback
