My background

I have spent the last 8 years building products in exceptionally successful
venture-backed B2B SaaS companies
that have raised over €300 million.

  • 🦄🦄🦄 Tricentis - raised €165.000.000,00 Series B with Insight Partners in 2017
    (I was at Tricentis from 2015-2020 as a Product Manager)

  • 🦄🦄🦄 Adverity - raised €120.000.000,00 Series C with Softbank in 2022
    (I was at Adverity from 2021-2023 as a Director of Product)

  • 🦄 Cosuno - raised €30.000.000,00 Series B with Avenir Growth in 2022

    (I am currently at Cosuno as the VP of Product)

I have seen how complicated the journey of scaling a product from 1 million ARR to 100 million ARR is, and what can go wrong and right.

After seeing it multiple times the best way to make your product a growth engine, is by empowering your product teams to work on outcomes that have a clear impact.

What this means in action:

  • A team that knows how its customers behave through data & conversations

  • Clear goals that have a direct impact on the business for every product team

  • An org structure that optimizes for outcomes instead of feature development

  • Problems to solve and goals to reach instead of top-down feature roadmaps

Are we a match?

First, let’s see if we are a match.

We are a match if you are my ICP (Ideal Customer Profile):
✔️ Early Stage Scaleup — (€1 million → €25 million ARR)
✔️ B2B
✔️ SaaS or Marketplace
✔️ You are ready for some tough love

If you check these boxes there are three ways to work together.

3. (interim/fractional) CPO / VP Product 🔴

Currently helping Cosuno as their VP of Product (https://cosuno.de), no other slots with a commitment >4 hours per week open.

(Happy to work with you as an advisor or coach to your Product Team, CPO, or CEO)

Why invest in a Product Coach/Advisor?

Running the average product team (1 PM + 0.5 Designers + 5 Engineers) in Europe costs €500.000,00 per year. According to a study by pendo.io (product usage analytics), 80% of SaaS features are rarely or never used, which means for each team €400.000,00 of this investment is wasted on developments that don’t bring value to your business or customers.

If you have experienced shipping features that never get adopted: I can help your business by aligning your product teams with your business goals, enabling your product leadership team to drive growth, and coaching your PMs to become experts.

Using my experience building products in exceptionally successful B2B SaaS companies, I will give you actionable advice that will have a lasting impact on your organization.
