Hi there, I get it—you're juggling a global 3D printing marketplace that's already live with a custom e-commerce platform that's still in the works, and without a clear product lead, features might pile up without driving real revenue or user growth. Your distributed teams across countries add complexity to aligning everyone on what to build next. It's tough ensuring the platform evolves into a standalone SaaS without derailing Layerline's momentum. One idea: Start by auditing user drop-offs in Layerline's checkout to prioritize quick UX tweaks that could boost conversions 15-20%. I led product for a maker tools marketplace, growing it from 10k to 50k users by focusing on data-driven roadmaps—similar to your prosumer audience. My e-comm SaaS background means I can shape your platform like a vertical Shopify, handling multi-tenant scalability from day one. I've worked remote with global teams, so I fit right in. What's your biggest user pain point right now?

Hi, I’m a Product Leader based in Portugal (perfect time zone alignment with your Netherlands team), and I’ve spent the last 15 years building exactly the kind of SaaS and marketplace products you are scaling. I understand the specific challenge you are facing: you need to balance immediate revenue growth on Layerline while simultaneously architecting a complex custom platform, without just building a generic Shopify clone. At companies like Accenture, BitSight and OutSystems, I learned that the CPO's real job isn't just dictating what to do; it’s connecting your business vision to actual execution. I work directly with distributed engineering teams to ensure we aren't just shipping code, but shipping value that users actually pay for. I’m looking for a hands-on partnership, not just a gig. I have 10h/week available to help you stabilize your roadmap and start executing. Best, Daniel

Hi, I’m excited to apply for the Fractional CPO role for Layerline and your custom e-commerce platform. Managing a marketplace alongside a vertical SaaS product requires clear product vision, disciplined prioritization, and strong execution, that’s where I bring value. I bring 7 years of experience leading international digital platform rollouts and AI-enabled product initiatives. I have owned product roadmaps from strategy to go-live, working closely with engineering teams to balance user needs, revenue objectives, and technical feasibility. My background spans marketplaces, SaaS platforms, and multi-market deployments. For Layerline, I would focus on optimizing search, discovery, and checkout to increase conversion and GMV, while improving vendor onboarding and marketplace liquidity. For the SaaS platform, I would define the ICP, structure core vs modular features, and align the roadmap toward scalable multi-tenant architecture and clear monetization tiers. My prioritization combines RICE scoring with revenue and strategic alignment. Decisions are data-driven, using user interviews, funnel analytics, and rapid experimentation. I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss your current traction, roadmap priorities, and growth goals. Best regards, Fatim

I’m a strong fit for this fractional CPO role because I’ve spent the last decade building and scaling platform products in fintech and B2B marketplaces, including roles at C2FO, Paytm, and Barclays. I’ve managed complex backlogs with integrations, technical debt, and new features, always balancing business goals, scalability, and customer needs. I focus on data-driven decisions, turning user insights and operational metrics into features that drive revenue and growth. I’ve led remote teams, aligned stakeholders across functions, and built frameworks that make prioritization clear and execution smooth. I understand platform thinking—defining core vs. optional features, reusable components, and scalable architecture—perfect for your marketplace and custom e-commerce platform. Most importantly, I’m hands-on: writing PRDs, collaborating with engineers and designers, running workshops, and ensuring products ship on time. In short, I combine strategic vision with practical execution, making me the right person to own the roadmap, product decisions, and long-term growth for Layerline and your custom platform.
