I help software companies navigate the moments when what got them here won’t get them where they need to go next.
Sometimes the challenge is scaling the organization. Sometimes it’s cutting through complexity to find the strategy the team should have been executing all along. Sometimes the product is strong but growth has stalled.
When the stakes are high and the path forward isn’t clear, that’s where I’m most useful.
The companies I work with are often successful by traditional measures. But leadership can see the warning signs: decisions are slowing, teams are misaligned, and growth is becoming harder to sustain.
Maybe one of these sounds familiar.
Engineering is shipping but revenue, retention, and growth aren’t moving. The roadmap has become a reactionary list driven by the loudest voices in the room.
Processes become inconsistent, decision making slows, and leadership spends more time managing friction than driving innovation.
The opportunity is real. The question is where AI creates measurable value for customers, teams, and the business.
Whether during growth, transformation, or a search for a permanent hire, the business needs an operator who can create momentum quickly.
These are the situations I was built for. My deepest experience is in SaaS, embedded payments, and fintech. That’s where I do my best work.
I function as your CPO. Roadmap ownership, team structure, delivery accountability, and board communication. An operator who runs the function while you find the right permanent hire, or for as long as you need senior coverage.
The structured framework I built and ran at scale. Empowered teams, continuous discovery, and outcome-based measurement. It installs in weeks and stays after I leave.
A practical plan for where AI creates real leverage in your product and development workflows. I know the difference between meaningful investment and noise.
For companies carrying platform debt from acquisitions or organic complexity. I’ve done this at scale and know how to sequence the work without breaking what’s live.
Payments is a growth lever most SaaS companies underutilize. I can help you identify where payments creates margin, stickiness, and competitive differentiation.
Most product organizations don’t fail because of strategy. They fail because there is no operating system connecting strategy to execution. Empowered teams without operational discipline drift. Operational discipline without empowered teams produces output without outcomes.
PMOS integrates both.
It connects three layers that most frameworks address in isolation: leadership strategy and governance, empowered cross-functional teams running continuous discovery and delivery, and the operational cadences that keep everything moving without reverting to command and control.
The result is a product organization that is predictable, accountable, and aligned with business outcomes. It installs in weeks and stays after the engagement ends.
Evaluate the product organization and operating model. Identify what’s slowing growth and what’s already working.
Build executive alignment around priorities, owners, and measurable outcomes. Clear decisions and clear accountability.
Operate alongside the team to drive execution and deliver results. I stay until it’s working.
Engagements typically range from 90 days to 12 months. Available through fractional leadership, interim executive roles, strategic projects, and advisory relationships.
I founded Tessera Partners because the most valuable thing I can offer a software company isn’t a framework or a presentation. It’s judgment built from doing the work at scale through real inflection points.
Most recently, as Chief Product Officer of a public company, I led global Product and Engineering organizations approaching 1,000 people across five continents. Throughout my career I’ve built product organizations from scratch, introduced product management discipline into engineering-led companies, and driven AI transformation across the full software development lifecycle.
Tessera Partners exists to bring that experience directly to companies that need it now, without the overhead of a full-time executive hire.

No pitch. No templates. Just a conversation about where the business is today, where it needs to go, and whether I’m the right person to help.
