I've run product through two Series Bs and one near-death runway crunch. My strength is sequencing — knowing which bets survive a cut, how to say no to sales without losing the deal, and how to protect the few things that actually move activation.
Every roadmap argument eventually becomes a resource argument. I tie each feature back to a strategic bet and make sure every cut comes with a written trade-off, so leadership remembers why we made it when the quarter turns.
