Fractional Product Leadership

Fractional Product Leadership

 

Strategic product leadership—without the full-time headcount.
Your team needs product direction.
Your roadmap needs ruthless clarity.
And your business needs someone who can lead with context, not just process.

Hiring a VP or CPO takes months.
Training up a junior PM takes quarters.
Fractional product leadership is how you fill the gap—fast.

❓ Why Fractional?

Because speed and flexibility win.

Fractional leadership gives you executive-level product strategy and team transformation, without the overhead, hiring risk, or long-term commitment of a full-time leader.

With a fractional leader, you get:

  • 🚧 Immediate support on high-stakes product challenges

  • 🎯 Strategic guidance on roadmaps, prioritization, and stakeholder alignment

  • 📣 Coaching and upskilling for your existing product team

  • 💼 Executive representation in cross-functional planning and leadership conversations

  • 🧠 A trusted thought partner to help you think clearly and act decisively

You’re not just buying hours—you’re getting outcomes.

⏰ Why Now?

Because waiting costs more than acting.

  • If your roadmap is bloated or misaligned, every sprint burns cash.

  • If your PMs are stuck in the weeds, your product vision suffers.

  • If your go-to-market motion is product-light, you’re leaving revenue on the table.

  • And if you’re asking engineers to “figure it out,” you’re already behind.

You can’t afford to wait for the “perfect” hire—you need someone who can step in, build momentum, and create clarity now.

👋 Why Me?

I’m Heather Miller, and I’ve led product at the intersection of tech, healthcare, and transformation for over a decade.
As the founder of PDRM Consulting, I help companies like yours:

  • Build product playbooks that actually get used

  • Launch the right things faster—with fewer cycles wasted

  • Shift PMs from ticket-takers to trusted strategic voices

  • Align leadership, engineering, and product without the politics

I don’t just lead product—I develop the product leaders you wish you could hire.

Whether you need help with business case planning, team transformation, or roadmap realignment, I’ll meet you where you are—and help your product function get where it needs to go.
