I help you figure out what customers will buy, what to build first, and how to turn it into a plan your team can execute.
You have people who can build. The harder question is which product bets deserve the team, the roadmap, and the customer conversations next.
I turn messy product ambiguity into a decision your team can act on.
Service 1
A working session and written read on the decision, the risk, and the best next move. Useful when you need an outside senior product opinion before committing.
Service 2
A board-ready plan for what to build, in what order, with the first feature specced. If AI is involved, the plan covers cost, pricing, evals, and quality gates.
Service 3
Short-term product leadership beside the CEO and CTO while you hire, bridge, or level up the team: priorities, specs, customer conversations, and release checks.
Step 1
We talk through your business, product, team, and decision. I ask questions and give you my first take on where the risk and opportunity sit.
Step 2
If the question is small, the read may be enough. If the decision needs more work, we move into a roadmap or fractional product lead engagement.
Step 3
I talk to the right people, inspect the product and existing research, pressure-test the assumptions, and turn the ambiguity into a written product plan.
Step 4
Your team executes from the plan, I help build the first slice, or I stay beside the CEO and CTO as a short-term product lead.
The work has ranged from fractional CPO and technical leadership to product roadmaps, onboarding audits, AI process design, functional specs, and delivery through launch.
"Kareem has an excellent ability to translate technology concepts for a non-technical audience. He thinks like a business owner, not just a technical expert."
"Kareem's ability to see both the product management and the engineering sides of the equation is one-of-a-kind."
"Kareem gets what users want. Talk to Kareem, you will learn."
"Kareem makes it very easy for a non-tech founder to have real-life business conversations and turn them into technical specifications."
"Most valuable is your experience with what not to do, as well as what to do. Start with the bare bones and build from there."
"Anybody who's ever asked me about working with Kareem, I would have absolutely no hesitation in saying: that's the guy for you."
I have been writing software since 2001. I founded four companies and sold three. I run a SaaS company today, and most of its manual work is done by AI agents I built. I work with companies in North America, the UK, and Europe.
