Alison G.

Product and Program Leader with a love for getting her hands dirty.

I'm a former co-founder and agency executive who has led product strategy, development, and operations for over 20 years. Clients have included Apple, Restoration Hardware, Edelman Financial, Beyond, Pepsi, Google, Sirius XM, and more.

My specialty is driving scale and growth for product teams and businesses. From ideation through monetization, optimization, and operations, I can help lead an existing team; I can help build new teams and drive concepts into tangible products. Most critically, I am here to do the work of the senior-level team members you need but may not be able to afford as an FTE.

I'm currently looking for new fractional roles, having been the former Director of Product development for a drop shipping marketplace. I have experience in commerce, marketing, fulfillment, payments, and other fintech. If you're a founder or CEO wearing multiple hats, leading products, and the company, I can fill the gap of dedicated product leadership and work (I don't toss things over walls; I'm there to bring something to life). I'm looking to work with businesses with a product with a proven market fit that needs to explode; consider me gasoline to throw on an existing fire.
