Leading product teams is a tough job.
“I’m tired of being an order-taker.“
When every roadmap comes from someone else’s slide deck, product becomes a feature factory. Morale dips, creativity shrinks, and customers slip away.
“We’re drowning in tasks, but nothing moves forward.”
Busyness ≠ business. Endless backlog shuffles hide the metric that matters: retention..
“Leadership doesn’t speak our language..”
They talk runway and margins; you talk story points. Until product’s story includes ROI, you’ll keep presenting, they’ll keep nodding, and nothing will fund.

Hey,
I’m Adam.Hi, I’m Adam — the product coach founders call when “just ship it” has stopped working.
I’ve spent 15 years building teams that win on retention, not runway. At SmartRecruiters we pushed churn below 10 %. At other post-ZIRP startups I taught product leaders to speak P&L as fluently as user story—turning feature factories into ROI engines. That’s why Silicon Valley Product Group lists me as a trusted referral coach.
Here’s the lesson those tours burned in: great teams don’t take orders; they make decisions.
My job is to create the candid, sometimes uncomfortable conversations that unlock those decisions—fast.
Through focused workshops and one-on-one coaching we’ll:
• Clarify the real blocker in a single sprint.
• Empower your crew to talk numbers and narrative.
• Deliver a 90-day plan that customers (and CFOs) notice.
