Opportunities

I’m currently running HatchClaw as an R&D experiment in AI product tools, but I’m open to the right full-time opportunity. I’m also available for select advisory work and speaking engagements.

Full-Time Roles

I’m interested in VP or Director of Product Management positions at companies building AI/ML products.

What I’m looking for:

  • Companies serious about AI/ML (not just adding ChatGPT wrappers)
  • Product-led organizations where PM has a real voice
  • Teams that value intelligence, discovery, and evidence-based decisions
  • Strategic role with hands-on involvement
  • Solving hard problems, not maintenance work

What I bring:

  • 20+ years building and shipping products
  • Deep experience with AI/ML product development
  • Track record of building product intelligence systems
  • Experience leading product teams and developing PMs
  • Evidence-based approach to strategy and prioritization

I’m not desperate. I’m not “on the market.” I have HatchClaw keeping me plenty busy. But I’m genuinely interested in the right role with the right team working on the right problem.

If this sounds like your company: Email me at [email protected] with details about the role, the product, and the challenges you’re trying to solve.

Advisory & Consulting

I work with a small number of companies on advisory engagements. These aren’t typical consulting projects—I’m looking for partnerships with teams that want to level up their product practice.

Areas where I help:

AI Product Strategy
You’re building an AI product but struggling with how to validate it, roadmap it, or measure success. Traditional product methods don’t quite work, and you need someone who’s been there.

Product Intelligence Systems
Your team is drowning in customer feedback but has no real insight. You need a system that actually surfaces the signals that matter, not another survey tool or feedback database.

Product Discovery
You’re shipping features but not sure they’re the right features. Your discovery process is broken, rushed, or non-existent. You need to build a discovery practice that actually works.

Product Team Development
You’re scaling your product team and need help with operating models, PM development, or leveling up your senior PMs. Not training courses—real operational work.

What I don’t do:

  • Generic product consulting or fractional PM work
  • Discovery sprints, roadmap facilitation, or process workshops
  • Training programs or cohort-based courses
  • Quick fixes or short-term projects

Typical engagement: 3-6 months, 1-2 days per week, focused on solving a specific strategic problem.

If you’re interested: Email me at [email protected] with context about your company, the problem you’re trying to solve, and what success looks like.

Speaking

I’m open to speaking at conferences and events focused on AI product management, product leadership, or product operations.

Topics I speak about:

  • AI/ML product management (the real version, not the hype)
  • Product intelligence and customer insight systems
  • Product discovery that actually works
  • Evidence-based product strategy
  • Building and leading product teams

Events I prefer:

  • Practitioner-focused conferences (not vendor shows)
  • Intimate events (under 500 people)
  • Single-track or highly curated multi-track events
  • Events that pay speakers (or cover all expenses)

Events I avoid:

  • Big vendor conferences where speaking is marketing
  • Webinars or virtual-only events
  • Panel discussions (prefer solo talks)
  • Events that don’t compensate speakers

If you’re organizing an event: Email me at [email protected] with details about the event, expected audience, format, and speaker arrangement.

Let’s Talk

The best way to reach me is email: [email protected]

Please include context about what you’re looking for. “Let’s chat” emails get ignored. Specific, thoughtful emails get responses.

You can also connect with me on LinkedIn, though email is better for substantive conversations.
