Workfully: Revamping Strategy to Reach Product-Market Fit
Workfully’s journey toward product-market fit started with a comprehensive audit of their product strategy, led by me. Through in-depth analysis, I identified gaps, redefined priorities, and adjusted their roadmap to align with business goals and customer needs. Following the audit, I joined the team as a Fractional Head of Product to oversee and drive the implementation of these changes.
