About Brian E.

Have you ever seen a product fail—not because of bad code, but because it didn’t solve a real problem?That’s where I come in.I help startups and enterprises bridge the gap between vision and execution. With over 25 years in IT and more than 8 years in product leadership, I’ve led teams from early-stage scrappy to Fortune 50 scale—always keeping the user front and center. What’s stopping your product from delivering real value?* Misaligned priorities between business and engineering?* Features shipped that no one uses?* Teams working hard but not working smart?I solve these problems by blending strategic vision with Agile execution.What I Do* Define product roadmaps that align with customer needs and business outcomes.* Coach teams in Agile, Scrum, and SAFe to deliver faster with focus.* Launch scalable solutions in healthcare, SaaS, and e-commerce environments.* Serve as a fractional CPO, VP Product, or Agile Coach to unlock product-market fit and team performance.Why It Works* I speak “business” to stakeholders and “engineering” to devs—bridging the communication gap.* I align OKRs, KPIs, and Agile planning horizons to build what matters most.* I lead with empathy and clarity, making complex problems manageable. Who I Help* Founders who need a product leader but aren\'t ready for a full-time exec.* Teams struggling to scale or deliver consistently.* Organizations looking to transform how they build and deliver software.Ready to turn your product chaos into clarity?Let’s connect—I’d love to help you build something that matters.
