Fractional CPO & Product Strategy

Product leadership,
without the wait.

Strategic product leadership
when you need it most.

I embed as your senior product leader — filling a gap, levelling up your team, or helping you think through the hardest product decisions you face.

01
Fractional CPO
Ongoing product leadership — strategy, roadmap, team coaching, and stakeholder alignment — on a part-time basis. The full CPO experience, structured around your stage.
02
Product Strategy Sprints
Focused 4–8 week engagements for a specific challenge: market sizing, GTM strategy, product-market fit, or a major roadmap decision.
03
Team & Process Uplift
Audit and strengthen your product function — discovery processes, prioritisation frameworks, PRD standards, and PM capability development.
04
Advisory & Sounding Board
Regular sessions with a senior product leader for founders who have a PM team but want experienced, independent challenge on key decisions.

Simple, fast, focused.

1
Discovery call
30 minutes to understand your situation, your goals, and whether we're a good fit. No pitch, no pressure.
2
Scoped proposal
A clear engagement structure — format, cadence, focus areas, and investment — tailored to what you actually need.
3
Fast start
Onboarding takes days, not months. I get up to speed quickly and contribute from week one.
4
Ongoing value
Regular touchpoints, async availability, and a genuine stake in your outcomes — not just deliverables.

Built for scale-up founders.

Scaling without a CPO
You have PMs but no senior product leader. Strategy is falling to you and it's costing you focus.
Facing a product inflection
A new market, a platform shift, or a competitive threat. You need experienced thinking before you commit.
Between full-time hires
You're growing into a CPO hire but not ready yet. You need leadership continuity while you find the right person.
B2B SaaS & cloud
You're building in enterprise software or cloud infrastructure and need a leader who knows the territory.

Senior operator,
not a consultant.

I'm Allan McGhee — a product leader with deep experience in B2B SaaS and cloud infrastructure. I've led product strategy, platform launches, and cross-functional teams at scale, including enterprise cloud products and complex partner ecosystems.

Stratovation was built for founders who need real product leadership — not slide decks. I work with a small number of companies at a time, which means you get genuine focus and senior thinking, not a junior engagement manager.

A 30-minute discovery call costs you nothing. If there's a fit, we'll know quickly.
