Startup Advisory

Take your products to the next level

Learn how to build a foundation that unlocks sustainable growth.

During my career I’ve collected more years of product experience than I’d like to admit. I’ve founded several startups and led product teams at some of the hottest scale-ups and global software giants. During this time, I’ve encountered many different flavours of product management and had the incredible fortune to work alongside some of the sharpest minds in the field.

Being a producteer by heart, I am driven by the desire to create impact through my work. That extends to shaping top-notch product teams, offering guidance and mentorship to product professionals. But after working with scores of product managers, product leads and founders, I couldn’t ignore the nagging feeling that something was amiss. Many of these teams should have possessed all the right ingredients: skilled and experienced individuals, ripe market opportunities, ample resources, and a shared vision. Yet, they found themselves grappling with inefficiency, growing frustration, dwindling quality and innovation, decreased productivity, higher turnover, and escalating costs. The recurring pattern I observed was strikingly clear and straightforward: exceptional teams were hindered by subpar leadership. Whether due to poor communication, vague objectives, excessive micromanagement, a lack of constructive feedback, or inconsistent decision-making, senior leaders often made avoidable mistakes that weighed down both their teams and the commercial success of their products.

And that’s precisely what producteerz is all about: to assist founders, senior product leaders, and product executives in building and leading highly effective product teams. In the spirit of Richard Feynman, who once remarked, “If you want to master something, teach it!” I enjoy sharpening my leadership skills while equipping you with practical experience and actionable advice to create a positive work environment that cultivates team success.
