Your growing startup needs product management
As the CEO/CTO of a growing startup, you’re starting to feel the pain of managing a growing product:
- The company isn’t aligned around the product strategy
- The features you build don’t have a well defined scope
- The team isn’t communicating status and timelines
- You have a dozen other priorities that need your attention
So, it’s time to put a proper product management process in place, but you need an extra set of hands to lead this so you can focus on your growing company.

"Rob creates structure that unlocks growth. He created communication channels where there were none, coached team members to lead planning, feedback and prioritization processes that didn’t exist before, and most importantly, empowered us to know the what, why, and when of our product roadmap.
It’s for these reasons and more that Ada grew more than an order of magnitude 2017."
