Nad Chishtie

Your startup's product & design partner.

I build winning design & product management strategies, and help execute against them.

Think of me like a Chief Product-Design Officer, on demand, for your startup.

I usually partner with:

• Founders. You're solving design & product challenges, or hiring, scaling and integrating teams. Design or product aren't your wheelhouse and you need help from someone whose done it before.

• Operators. You're scaling design or product at an org, seeking thought partnership or to lean on a couple of decades of experience. Perhaps you're a first hire, manager, or head of.

I typically help:

• Reduce risk & generate value. Figuring out what people want, and how to build it. Finding growth levers to take new products from zero-to-one, or find consistent product growth.

• Elevate simply usable to irresistibly desirable. Using beauty, craft and aesthetics to build brand equity, signal trust, and build competitive advantages.

• Scale organisationally. Growing a high performing environment, and helping with hiring, onboarding and retention. Ensuring processes, playbooks and systems can scale.

• While remaining hands on. Oscillating between altitudes as a "player-coach" leader to get things done, and deliver results.

Let's work together.

I'm not taking on new clients— but feel free to get in touch and I'll help if I can.
