Evan C.

Turning product complexity into clarity, strategy, and growth.

I am a Fractional Product Executive who brings clarity, strategy, and momentum to companies navigating growth. Over the past 20 years I have helped startups, consultancies, and enterprise organizations turn product strategy into measurable outcomes. My strength lies in simplifying complexity, aligning teams, processes, and product direction around what truly drives revenue and market traction.

At Clutch I shaped a product vision that unlocked $50M in new revenue and improved collaboration and efficiencies across the organization. At Perceptyx I led a team that delivered $70M in growth by refining roadmap priorities and pricing models. At American Express I launch a digital offer ecosystem that generated more than $100M globally. Earlier I have also successfully pioneered the only Social CRM platform for the beverage industry that resulted in the company acquisition.

Today through Principle42 I work with leadership teams that want to scale smarter, not just faster. Whether it is assessing product health through the P42 Index, defining go to market frameworks, or building cross functional rhythm, my focus is consistent. I bring structure where there is noise and create momentum that lasts.

If your next stage of growth requires a product leader who combines strategic insight with operational clarity, I am ready to help you get there.
