I'd highly recommend working with Theban if you want to turn those whiteboard "imagineering" product chats into a market tested product strategy.

I have worked with hundreds of product leaders. There are very few that can combine an innate bent for execution, crafting market-expansion focused roadmaps, and shaping platform + business model strategies, like Theban can.

Theban was invaluable in bringing clarity and long-term thinking to our product roadmap. What was particularly helpful was his input on our competitive differentiators vs competition, and how to build products and features to capitalize on those advantages. I'd highly recommend Theban for any product-focused SaaS company.
