THE SOLUTION
What is an Interim CPO?
An Interim Chief Product Officer is a full-time temporary executive who steps in during critical moments like leadership transitions, unexpected departures, rapid growth phases, or organizational crises. They provide immediate stability and strategic direction.
Unlike fractional CPOs who work part-time, interim CPOs are fully dedicated to your organization for a defined period (typically 3-12 months), ensuring continuity and momentum during times of change.
