Fractional Product Manager for Startups & Scale-ups
I am Fernando Cutolo — a fractional product leader and fractional lead PM with 20+ years building products at RD Station, PicPay, and Somos Educação. I help EdTech, FinTech, and SaaS teams get senior product direction without hiring a full-time CPO.
The problem I solve
Early-stage and growth-stage companies often need experienced product leadership before they can justify a full-time executive. A fractional product manager bridges that gap: strategic depth, hands-on execution, and stakeholder alignment — on a part-time basis.
How I work
- 20 hours/week, remote, async-friendly
- Time zones: Americas & Europe
- Deliverables: strategy, roadmap, metrics, stakeholder alignment, agentic AI where it adds value
Proven outcomes
- RD Station: +100% operational efficiency in 4 months (Product Insights & GenAI)
- PicPay: partner network 50 → 350; 28 months consecutive growth
- Somos Educação: users 50k → 1.6M; onboarding 2 weeks → 45 minutes
Who it's for
- EdTech: user scaling, onboarding, retention, educational data products
- FinTech: partnerships, compliance-aware product, ecosystem growth
- Early-stage SaaS: ICP, validation, roadmap, metrics from day one
