Fractional CPO - Board member

Is your product organization failing to move revenue, retention, or valuation? Product not delivering against the plan you sold the board? I step in as a senior product leader without full-time exec cost or risk.

I am the Founder and Managing Partner of FractionalCPO, a product leadership and growth consulting firm that doesn't just advise, but embeds. We work with Private Equity and high-growth enterprises to transition or augment product leadership and drive revenue growth from product.

Companies die from focusing on trying to improve metrics instead of focusing on delivering customer value. They often lack the operational velocity to turn strategy into enterprise value. We don't do performative roadmaps or endless committees. We identify the bottleneck, install high-velocity systems, and execute until the metrics move. We’ve been doing this successfully for a decade, helping clients through growth, exits, and IPOs.

A bit about me:

- Builder: 4x founder and former exec (exits & failures included)
- Global: Lived in 16+ countries before university
- Discipline: 2nd-degree black belt in Taekwondo & avid meditator
- Loyalty: The guy you call when you need a ride to the airport or an ear to hear
- I’m serious about your business, but not too serious as a person.

One of my core beliefs is the power of a tribe — people who show up for each other, without being asked — which inspired me to create the Helpful Podcast, where I dig into the messiness of building, failing, and the people who show up when it counts.

Let’s connect and build something real.

the 3 types of CPOs i've worked with:



1. startup CPO: the chaos wrangler

builds the plane while it's falling. does everything from user interviews to writing specs to making coffee runs.
never sleeps. lives on adrenaline and hope.

2. scale-up CPO: the process architect

turns madness into method. builds teams and frameworks faster than engineers build features.
specializes in saying "we need a system for that."

3. enterprise CPO: the alignment wizard

navigates political landscapes like a pro diplomat. translates innovation into business speak.
spends 80% of time in meetings about meetings.

which one are you? or which one do you work with?

Revenue growth through product leadership

My little home on the internet: https://jamespember.com/ 

I’m a senior product leader/builder and two-time founder with 10+ years in SaaS. Currently VP of Product at Komo Technologies where I lead product, strategy, and AI initiatives.

Before Komo, I started Sweden's biggest English-language startup blog (Swedish Startup Space) and later sold it to a media company called Breakit, then I co-founded an enterprise SaaS company called Sparta which was acquired by Lime Technologies (STO:LIME) and later helped Reason Studios move from perpetual licenses to subscriptions, leading the launch of Reason+ and scaling it from $0 to $10M in ARR.

I love writing about technology, startups and product on my blog (https://jamespember.substack.com) and try to keep my knowledge fresh and up-to-date by tinkering with as many side-projects as I can on the side. Currently I'm building a lot of personal software and tools using AI coding agents. See some of them at https://jamespember.com/projects
