Many hats, one objective.

I put out fires for B2B SaaS leaders so they can get real work done.

I put out fires for B2B SaaS leaders so you can get real work done.

  • 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.

Case Studies

Provable

We worked on: Building a 15 strong remote product team together

  • Product team under-staffed, Explorer product stalled

  • Hired and onboarded 15 people across product, design, engineering, and marketing in 9 months

  • Product shipped and live, 90% hire retention

I put out fires for B2B SaaS leaders so you can get real work done.

Spotify

We worked on: User research, ways of working & quarterly planning

Sales-led startup acquired by Spotify, product team lost and directionless

  • Led an 8-month transition from a sales-led to product-led org

  • Left the team shipping regularly with clear quarterly planning

  • Rebuilt relationships with cross-functional heads of department

I put out fires for B2B SaaS leaders so you can get real work done.

Enterprise

We worked on: Super-fast MVP builds for global enterprises

Both The FCA and Herbert Smith Freehills needed custom software built extremely fast and deployed to complex environments.

  • Coded MVPs, ran design sprints, handled enterprise deployment

  • FCA: App from idea to production in 8 weeks

  • HSF: ML-driven legal pricing software, first of it's kind in-firm

Testimonials

Jamie Syke

Head of Product + Design at Provable

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 usually hire for specific roles to solve specific problems, but finding someone who I can trust to put out a variety of fires and give me the opportunity to do real deep work is very hard to find.

Imaan is that person.

Jason Cox

Director of Engineering at Spotify

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.

Liam Marshall

Founder at Metamorf.ai

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.
