Three ways to bring senior product leadership into your team.

Every engagement is scoped around a concrete outcome — not a monthly retainer for open-ended hours. Pick the shape that matches where you're stuck.

01 · Retained

Fractional Head of Product

Embedded 2–3 days per week as your acting product leader — roadmap, team, and stakeholder management included.

Ideal for: Identity, fraud & compliance teams between hires
Roadmap ownership & prioritization
Team mentoring & hiring support
Board & executive reporting
Cross-functional stakeholder alignment
02 · Project

Strategy & Roadmap Sprint

A focused 2–4 week engagement that turns a fuzzy backlog — or an unresolved regulatory requirement — into a prioritized, fundable roadmap.

Ideal for: A specific decision point
Vendor & stakeholder evaluation
Prioritization framework & scoring
12-month roadmap deliverable
Executive readout & working session
03 · Interim

Interim Leadership Coverage

Full-scope coverage during a leadership transition, extended leave, or an active executive search — while a company runs its own search for a permanent hire.

Ideal for: Leadership gaps
Full-time-equivalent coverage
Executive search support & handoff
No dropped roadmap commitments
Structured onboarding for the successor
FAQ

Common questions.

How is this different from a consultant?

A consultant typically hands you a recommendation and moves on. This means being embedded — sitting in standups, reviewing real specs, and carrying the same roadmap accountability a full-time leader would, for the length of the engagement.

What size company is this for?

Companies in identity, fraud, risk, or compliance-adjacent spaces — from growth-stage teams to regulated enterprise divisions — that need senior product judgment without a full headcount commitment.

How much time does an engagement take?

Anywhere from a focused 2–4 week sprint to an ongoing 2–3 day-per-week retainer — scoped in writing before anything starts.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on scope and cadence — discussed openly on the discovery call, no surprises in the proposal.

Is Gabriel only doing fractional work, or also considering full-time roles?

Both, in parallel. Several companies he's talked to have proposed a fractional or interim arrangement as a lower-commitment starting point before — or instead of — a full-time hire, which is exactly the shape these engagements take.

Not sure which engagement fits?

That's exactly what the discovery call is for — no commitment, just clarity on the right shape.
