Why people call

Sound familiar?

01

Your team says it's on track. You're not sure you believe it.

Every slipped date is a promise broken to a client.
02

You have an idea worth betting on, and nobody can tell you if it's real.

Months and budget spent building the wrong thing.
03

A launch is coming. It can't go wrong in front of your customers.

Customers find the problem before you do.
04

Releases ship with surprises, and nobody owns them.

Fixing takes the time meant for the roadmap.

If one of these kept you up this week, let's talk.

Two ways to work together

Validate fast, or embed with your team.

Product Acceleration Sprint

Know it works before you pay to build it.

€5,00015 days · fixed price

No upfront payment. You see the working prototype first, and you only pay if it convinces you.

  • Days 1-3Discovery: frame the problem and agree the scope
  • Days 4-10Build a working prototype
  • Days 11-15MVP scope and a 90-day roadmap

One clearly defined problem. Not a production platform in 15 days.

Embedded Product Owner / Product Manager

Someone who owns it, so you can stop chasing.

Part-time or full-timehybrid or remote

Scoped on a call. We agree the role, the teams and the first 90 days together.

  • RoadmapTurn goals into a prioritised backlog and release plan
  • DeliveryRun discovery, refinement and releases with engineering
  • RiskArbitrate scope against deadlines and contract exposure
  • VisibilityClear communication on dependencies that everyone can act on

I work alongside your product managers and engineers, not around them.

The method: Simplify the problem. Build the solution. Deliver it.

Results

What changes when I join.

The same pattern in every role: find what holds delivery back, fix it, and measure the result.

0 → 1

An idea that reached production.

A pricing product built from scratch in about 12 months, piloted with 3 major customers, then rolled out across EMEA.

€2M

A financial penalty avoided.

A client signature hinged on a year-end deadline. A phased MVP, delivered in 6 months, avoided the penalty.

Delivery you can plan around. Delivery rate up from 65% to 80%, post-release defects down 40%, and client incidents resolved inside their 48-hour SLAs.

Marck-Edward Kemeh, product owner based in Paris
About

I'm Marck-Edward, a product owner based in Paris with six years of B2B and B2C product delivery in travel tech and fintech.

I take products from the first idea to production, as comfortable in the boardroom as with the engineering teams. I work in English and French, hybrid or remote.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

When do I pay, and what if the prototype is not right?

Nothing upfront. You see the working prototype first, and you only pay if it convinces you. The price is fixed at €5,000, and scope and terms are agreed on a call before we start.

What is included in the 15 days, and what is not?

Included: discovery and scoping of one clearly defined problem, a working prototype, an MVP scope and a 90-day roadmap. Not included: a production platform. If the prototype proves the idea, we plan the build together.

Product Owner or Product Manager: what do you bring?

Both. I speak business and I speak engineering. I turn commercial goals, client contracts and constraints into a clear roadmap, then lead the engineering and technical teams so the backlog, scope and releases are ready to deliver. One person, from strategy to production.

Do you work with my existing team and product managers?

Yes. I embed with your product, engineering and business teams, hybrid or remote, and work alongside your product managers rather than around them. At Amadeus I work across five squads and their product managers without a reporting line, by aligning on priorities and contract risk.

How do you use AI, and what happens to my data?

AI helps me prototype and investigate faster. For AI features I set evaluation guardrails and keep a human in the loop. I work under your confidentiality terms and only use AI tools you have approved for your data.
