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?

We are proud to have launched a super platform this past week at CES. Meta and Google own half of the $750B per year of digital ad revenue, and we are now the closed-loop operating system for the other half.  It's an ad network plus real-time causal intelligence for the open web that currently doesn't exist on the market which enables marketers to have full transparency into what is actually causing the results. One source of truth based on real-time causation not just correlation. We are proud to include our 50,000 + gated Communities as part of the media inventory in this network. Our team is incredible.  Here's the press release:

The Closed-Loop OS for Global Media | Billions of High-Intent Engagements Across 50k+ Gated Communities | Real-Time MMM & In-Flight Saturation Allocation | Verified by Causal Proof | PTTOW! Member

We just unveiled the Industry's First Incrementality-Driven Media Operating System at CES. It enables brands to finally prove which marketing dollars actually drive revenue – not just take credit for it. 

What we do differently:

- Activate billions of real people in communities where buying decisions actually happen (Reddit, Discord, WhatsApp, niche apps, blogs) not just where ads get served.

- Prove causation, not correlation in real-time, we show what truly drives incremental sales across ALL your channels, not just ours

- Auto-optimize in real-time when channels hit saturation/diminishing returns.

Think of us as both your authentic community media partner AND your single source of truth for what's actually working across your entire media mix.

No more attribution debates. Just proof of what moves the needle.
