Hi there, I’m Sean.

I’m a software product strategist specializing in helping financial services and fintech companies succeed with software.

I’ve built numerous software products and companies myself. I know what works and what doesn’t from my 15+ years of experience.

Why Product Strategy

I’ve been in every seat of a software product company from software engineer to CEO. Over 15+ years I’ve learned that every successful software company has a solid product strategy.

I’ve helped companies like The Vanguard Group, Conference of State Bank Supervisors, Compass Working Capital and more develop and execute successfully with a product strategy that produces exceptional results.

I specialize in helping companies anywhere from financial services all the way to fintech B2B SaaS and Artificial Intelligence.

My process typically starts with discovery to map out the shortest path for your B2B SaaS from where you are currently to where you want to go.
