Recruitment
They've been there, done it and got the scars to prove it.
"My fractional CTO is 'real' in so far as you get the sense that he's been there, done it and got the scars to prove it. He hasn't 'fallen' into his role or got 'lucky' but worked for it over many years and I think he's all the better for it. The fact he can relate to me and the challenges I am facing so easily is what I've enjoyed most while working with him."

Senior Director of Product Management, Carrot
Expert guidance that elevates teams and leadership
"Ross Boardman was an excellent mentor and advisor to myself and the leadership team at my company and I would highly recommend his services. Over the course of a 6 month engagement he provided clear, actionable insights that we were able to implement with our teams. By doing so we streamlined many of our processes and improved our overall Product practices to build a better roadmap and influence our decisions with smarter inputs. I personally enjoyed having Ross as a coaching resource to make me a better leader of my Product Management team; his experience and "sounding board" abilities were fantastic. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Ross again."
