Fractional CPO

Senior product leadership, without the full-time cost

Why fractional makes sense at your stage

All the seniority, none of the overhead

A full-time CPO costs €120K–€200K+ per year. A fractional arrangement gives you the same strategic horsepower at a fraction of the cost — right-sized to your stage.

Plug in immediately

No 6-month ramp-up. I've done this across 5+ industries. I embed quickly, assess what's needed, and start driving outcomes within weeks.

Flexible as you grow

Scale up engagement during key product cycles, scale back during quieter periods. You're never locked in to headcount you don't need.

Outside perspective, inside commitment

I'm invested in your outcomes but not captured by your politics. That objectivity is often the most valuable thing I bring.

What's included

Every engagement is tailored, but here's what most clients receive across a fractional CPO arrangement:

  • Product vision and 12-month roadmap aligned to business objectives
  • Product team structure, hiring plan, and onboarding framework
  • OKR framework and product metrics dashboard
  • Sprint cadence, backlog grooming, and agile processes
  • Stakeholder alignment and board-level product reporting
  • Make/buy/partner decision frameworks
  • Product discovery and user research processes
  • Engineering–design–product collaboration model

Frequently asked questions

How many hours per week does a fractional CPO engagement involve?

Typically 1–3 days per week depending on your needs. We define the engagement structure in our initial scoping call and can adjust as priorities evolve.

How long does a typical engagement last?

Most engagements run 3–12 months. Some clients retain me on an ongoing advisory basis after the intensive period ends.

Do you work with companies outside Luxembourg?

Yes — I work remotely with clients across Europe and globally. Luxembourg is my base but geography is not a constraint.

What if we already have a product manager in place?

That's common. I often mentor and elevate existing PMs while taking strategic ownership of the product direction. It's not either/or.
