Why this topic matters

The traditional product leadership career path is shifting. Roles are less stable, and many leaders are questioning whether it's the wisest choice to stick with one employer. Companies need senior product expertise but can't always commit to a full-time hire. Going fractional means building your own portfolio: choosing the problems you solve and how you spend your time.
