Six service areas. Every one delivered with the rigour you'd expect from a senior in-house hire — at a fraction of the overhead.
The flagship service. You get an embedded senior product lead without the cost, politics, or overhead of a full-time hire. I take over the workstreams we agree on, own them completely, and give you weekly visibility into everything moving.
Finding the right factory is one of the hardest problems in hardware. I've been building Far East relationships since 2012 — I've sourced the factory behind GoPro, visited factories across Shenzhen and Shanghai, and I know what a bad tooling quote looks like before I open it.
From the first brief to a factory-ready product. I've coordinated with world-class ID firms including Ammunition (SF), Branch Studio (SF), and Mars Studio (Brooklyn). NPI is where every workstream converges — managed as one program.
QA isn't a checklist — it's a conversation with the factory floor. Problems caught at sample stage cost nothing. Problems caught after a container ships cost everything. I put eyes on every critical sample before mass production.
IoT is a system, not a feature. The platform decision you make on day one will shape your product roadmap, vendor relationships, app costs, and user experience for years. I help brands make that decision right — and build the team and architecture to execute it.
A product launch at CES without the right PM is a very expensive lesson. I've managed CES programs from booth concept through day-one floor execution. You focus on the product. I make sure it shows up on time and looks right.
We map your product roadmap, identify the gaps, and define what I own. No vague deliverables. Every engagement starts with a signed SOW and clear accountability for every workstream.
Monthly retainer. I own the agreed workstreams — factory comms, QA, sourcing, development — and you get a weekly pulse on everything in motion. No surprises.
You always have direct visibility into vendor relationships, production status, and every decision. All vendor contacts remain yours. I don't obscure your supply chain.
Some problems can't be solved over email. When the program calls for a factory floor visit, I go. Shenzhen, Shanghai, wherever. Travel billed at cost.
The primary model. A fixed monthly fee for agreed-upon workstreams. Predictable cost, full accountability, flexibility to scale.
For defined, time-bounded engagements — a factory audit, an NPI sprint, a CES launch. Scoped and priced per deliverable.
