Client details anonymized; figures illustrative where confidential.
Leadership had a direction in mind for a new product's go-to-market and needed to know where demand was genuinely real before committing. The ambiguity was which target segments to prioritize, and whether the preferred path was the right one.
I ran point with the stakeholders, reframed the question, and directed a team of five through market sizing, competitive positioning, and supply-landscape and demand-signal analysis, validating the leadership hypothesis where the evidence backed it and surfacing alternatives where it did not.
I used AI across the engagement to map the problem space, draft competing hypotheses and source maps, accelerate first-pass synthesis, and red-team the findings before they reached the client.
Defined the target-market priorities for the GTM launch and shaped a related sub-brand's product roadmap. Scoping proposals across budget scenarios grew the engagement by 50% over two years.
