Five engagement models. One principal.

Fractional Chief Product Officer. Embedded leadership for companies that need a senior product voice in the room — board meetings, roadmap calls, leadership operating cadence.

Best for

• Growth-stage companies between $5M and $50M ARR
• PE-backed portfolio companies under operational restructuring
• Founders or CEOs who need a product peer in the room
• Boards seeking interim leadership during a CPO search

A defined 90-day engagement to build a product function inside an organization that doesn't have it yet. Hiring plan, operating cadence, roadmap, and the first operating reviews — installed and running before exit.

Best for

• Series A/B companies installing their first formal product function
• Companies post-acquisition needing product integration
• Engineering-led orgs adding their first PM layer
• CEOs who want a deliverable, not an open-ended retainer

Operator-led product diligence for private equity and corporate development teams. A read on product capability, leadership depth, technical risk, and the realistic post-close operating plan — written by someone who has actually run the function.

Best for

• PE firms evaluating SaaS, healthcare IT, or fintech targets
• Strategic buyers needing product-side red flags surfaced
• Corporate development teams pre-LOI or in confirmatory diligence
• Operating partners building a 100-day plan

Senior individual-contributor product management for organizations that need a specific outcome shipped — a launch, a turnaround, a discovery initiative — without adding headcount.

Best for

• Teams short a senior PM on a specific initiative
• Companies needing a discovery sprint before committing to a roadmap
• Pre-IPO or audit-prep product documentation work
• Healthcare IT, fintech, or regulated-industry launches

You have an AI mandate and nothing in production — champions building in isolation, or a center of excellence that governs but never ships. Both reach the same dead end. PLM Build delivers both at once: the principal joins your team's cadence and builds an AI operating system on your own tools and workflows, governed by an operating standard so it holds no matter who's running it — built and running before the engagement closes. The same approach is deployed today across a 400+ clinic network.

Best for

• CTOs running an AI program whose backlog is still untouched
• CPOs with AI in the roadmap but nothing in production
• PE-backed companies that need a running system to show the board — not a roadmap
• Teams with the strategy and the program but no builder to ship it
