Stuck in discovery. Rollout in trouble. Product without an owner. In exactly those phases we step in operationally — as product manager or interim mandate.
One hand on the wheel. A weekly memo. A clean handover.

Clean handover plan
Four phases where we most often step in — usually on short notice with a clear outcome.
Three workshops, no consensus. We sort requirements, write the technical concept, and decide what makes the cut — and what doesn't.
01 / 04Launch slipped, vendor unresponsive, stakeholders nervous. We take steering, set clear stop-the-line rules, and bring the release across the line.
02 / 04Previous PM left, no backlog, no roadmap. We take the owner role until someone internal can take over — with a clean handover.
03 / 04Six months of search, three months of onboarding. In the meantime someone needs to hold the wheel — strategic, hands-on, handover-ready.
04 / 04When we take a mandate, you speak to one person — accountable across strategy, engineering, vendors and stakeholders. No escalation ping-pong.
at the centre
One person.
Full accountability.
Both operational, both measurable, both with a defined handover. The difference is scope and duration.
01 / Product management
We take product responsibility for a single solution — discovery, roadmap, backlog, stakeholder management. Typical duration: 3–9 months, alongside your team.
02 / Interim
We fill a vacant key role — CTO, CPO, head of department — until someone internal takes over. Strategy, hiring support, clean handover.
Four commitments in every mandate — in writing, in the kickoff memo. Everyone knows where they stand from day one.
Every Friday. In writing. What shipped, what's open, what's at risk — as an email to all stakeholders.
You escalate to one person — whether engineering, vendor, marketing or stakeholders are the issue.
The moment delivery or budget tilts, you hear about it — not at the next status check-in.
At least 4 weeks before the mandate ends: handover plan, onboarding docs, shadow phase with the successor.
Every mandate starts with a kickoff memo capturing scope, cadence, commitments and handover plan.
MVP Discovery
From the first workshop to go-live. Discovery, roadmap, tech selection, launch plan — all from one hand.
01 / 04Rollout Recovery
Launch slipped, vendor delayed, stakeholders restless. We take steering and stop-the-line into our hands.
02 / 04Interim
Bridging a CTO vacancy with strategy, hiring and vendor steering — until your permanent CTO joins.
03 / 04Vendor Steering
Three vendors, one deadline. We orchestrate contracts, interfaces and deliveries — no ping-pong.
04 / 04Write us briefly which phase you're in. We'll honestly say whether a PM mandate or an interim mandate fits — and what scope is realistic.
