Twenty years of product, distilled into a fractional partnership.

I've spent 20+ years inside product orgs going through the hardest transitions — acquisitions, hyper-growth, market expansions, and now the AI-first rebuild.

At Salesforce, Adobe, and Yahoo I learned what good operating systems look like at scale. As a fractional partner, I bring that pattern library to the teams that need it most.

I plug into product orgs at the inflection point — when clarity, strategy, or scale becomes the bottleneck — and leave the team faster, sharper, and shipping.

Pick the engagement that
matches your bottleneck.

TRACK / 01

Build

Unblock execution. Ship faster.


FOR

Founders or teams where product clarity is the bottleneck.

THE PROBLEM
  • Product team is lean or still forming
  • Engineers are waiting on specs
  • Shipping speed is slowing down
WHAT I OWN
  • +Product clarity end-to-end (problem → PRDs → outcomes)
  • +Backlog, prioritization, acceptance criteria
  • +Hands-on execution with product and engineering

TRACK / 02

Explore & Decide

Validate the next big bet.


FOR

Product leaders with no bandwidth for 0→1 work.

THE PROBLEM
  • Core team is buried in delivery
  • New bets keep slipping to “next quarter”
  • No clear owner for discovery
WHAT I OWN
  • +Strategic exploration and discovery
  • +Market and problem framing
  • +Build-vs-Buy recommendation

TRACK / 03

Scale & Transform

Scale the product function.


FOR

Founders and growing companies whose product org hasn't caught up to the business.

THE PROBLEM
  • No clear product process; GTM and Eng are misaligned
  • Head of Product is green, stretched, or missing
  • AI is reshaping how products get built — no one owns the transition
WHAT I OWN
  • +Embed as interim VP Product, or advise your existing one
  • +Hiring plans, rituals, and the product / GTM / Eng operating model
  • +Coach the Head of Product; lead the AI-first transition

From first call to operating system.

01

Intro call

30 minutes. We diagnose the bottleneck and decide if there's a fit.

02

Scoping

A short written proposal — outcomes, scope, cadence, and price. No fluff.

03

Embed

I plug in. Standups, planning, PRDs, exec syncs — whatever the team needs.

04

Hand-off

Operating system, decisions, and artifacts your team can run with after I'm gone.

Product leaders should build with AI. Two of mine:

Yuval Kesten
CPO, HoneyBook
Boaz operates like a true product leader: structured, opinionated, and pragmatic. He doesn't just diagnose problems — he proposes solutions that teams can actually build and scale. His work gave us a clear roadmap for strengthening our platform.

Common questions.

Anywhere from a 4-week strategy sprint to a 6-month embedded fractional leadership engagement. Most clients land between 2–4 days a week for 3 months.

Deep operating experience in AdTech and MarTech, InsurTech, and PropTech, with a strong affinity for productivity tools. My core is enterprise B2B and B2B2C, with selective D2C work — I'm effective on any user-facing or B2B product where the thinking is the bottleneck.

San Francisco Bay Area. I work with US, Israeli, and European teams — fully remote, or splitting time on-site when the engagement calls for it.
