I help companies have the impact they keep talking about.

Tim de Jardine

I'm Tim. I've been a CPO and founder for 20 years.
I do short, focused stints that deliver results.
Growth-stage companies. PE-backed teams. 6-12 weeks.

How I work
01

Intensity over duration

Most people in this space want retainers. I want outcomes. The best work happens in focused bursts where everyone knows the clock is ticking. Six weeks of intensity will always beat six months of meetings.

02

I've built the thing you're trying to build

Products used by hundreds of millions of people. Booking.com at hyper-scale. ATHLEAN-X from zero to 2M users and 38K five-star reviews. Read Me Stories to 5M users and #1 in 80+ countries. I've done 0-to-1, I've done scale, and I've done the messy restructure in between. The advice comes from outcomes, not from books.

03

Strategy decks are where momentum goes to die

If the last person you hired ended with a PDF and a handshake, you got robbed. I ship working product, not slide decks about working product. You'll know it's working because users will be touching it.

04

Fewer people, more shipped

You probably have too much process already. Another framework, another ceremony, another status update nobody reads. I'll cut before I add. I've seen 3 people outship 30 more times than I can count. If your team is big and slow, the answer is not a bigger team.

05

Results in 90 days, not retainers

I structure the work around outcomes. If nothing meaningful shipped, something went wrong and it wasn't a billing problem. You could spend six months hiring and end up with someone who never built anything from scratch and mistakes visibility for impact. Or you could have results in 90 days.

06

Decisions, not meetings

I've worked with boards, investors, and founders. The difference is whether those conversations lead to decisions or just more conversations. Agencies agree with you because they want the next contract. I'll tell you your roadmap is wrong or your product isn't solving a real problem. You're paying for clarity backed by experience and results, not politeness.

07

Ship something this week

Not next quarter. Not after the research phase. This week. The gap between most companies and their competitors is not strategy. It's the ability to put something in front of users before it feels ready.

Let's talk

If you've got a product problem and you're tired of talking about fixing it, let's talk.
