Many hats, one objective.
I solve complex problems for B2B SaaS leaders.
-
Product launch months behind schedule
-
New hires are too slow to contribute
-
We over-committed on delivery targets this quarter
I identify the problem, design a solution and manage the team until they are shipping without me.
Testimonials
Head of Product + Design at Provable
We worked on: Building a 15 strong remote product team together
When Imaan arrived at Provable our product team was
under-staffed and progress on our explorer product had stalled
almost completely.
9 months later we have hired and onboarded 15 people across
product, design, dev and marketing. the product is live and 90%
of hires have been retained.
One day he’d help with product ideation, the next managing the
dev team, the next onboarding a copywriter.
We are all
used to hiring for one specific roles to solve one specific
problem, but finding someone who I can trust to put out a
variety of fires and give me the opportunity to do some actual
deep work is very hard to find.
Imaan is that person.
We worked on: User research, ways of working & quarterly planning
Imaan took over a product team from a sales-led B2B startup just after being acquired by one of the world's largest product-led orgs.
There was a lot to change:
-
The team felt lost and directionless
-
Project management was confusing and constantly in flux
-
Backlog prioritisation was determined by client complaints
Over an 8 month period Imaan collaborated with:
-
Agile coaches to improve ways of working and team morale
-
User researchers to provide user insights to prioritise from
-
Heads of Design, Engineering, Sales and Customer Success to re-build trust that had been broken due to low performance
In an enterprise environment where most people just look out for #1, having someone with a relentless focus on quality and execution was refreshing.
Founder at Metamorf.ai
We worked on: Super-fast MVP builds for global enterprises
Imaan and I worked together when I was fresh out university and
had convinced a Silver Circle Law firm to let me and a classmate
build them a pricing platform.
We brought the data analytics, which was the core piece, but
Imaan helped with almost everything else:
-
Teaching us to run design sprints
-
Coding the entire mvp by himself
-
Troubleshooting an on-prem, enterprise deployment
-
Sitting with us in board rooms
-
Joining us on sales calls
It’s like having another founder on your team, but an objective one who is just there to do good work and go home, no politics.
