About Tim

Fractional CPO / VP Product for digital platforms. I support founder teams and scale-ups in rapidly bringing product strategy, execution, and organization to a robust level without a long ramp-up time.

I take on, among other things, product vision & strategy, roadmaps/OKRs, prioritization, discovery (interviews, hypotheses, experiments), KPI & tracking setup, as well as go-to-market and pricing issues. On the organizational side, I build clear product processes (SDLC, decision logic, backlog governance), strengthen collaboration with engineering, and lead product teams hands-on (hiring, coaching, roles & responsibilities).

Typical outcomes: Focus instead of feature backlog, faster delivery, better activation/retention, valid product decisions through data & user feedback, and a product operation that functions scalably. I am particularly strong in complex B2B environments and platform products – including higher requirements for quality, compliance, and stakeholder management.
