Background

About Adam Templeton

I help founders and investors turn opportunity into successful products, stronger businesses, and durable growth. As a fractional product & engineering partner, I fill capability and capacity gaps and turn strategy into execution and results. After 30+ years leading product and engineering at Harris and Alstom, I now partner—remotely—with a small set of clients where I make an outsized impact. I’m inquisitive, no-nonsense, and hands-on (getting things done): I learn your business, challenge assumptions, and convert insight into action. I excel with early-stage and smaller companies where product clarity and focus define the business—not corporate theater.Start practical—a clear project or a deal/portfolio snapshot—to prove fit. If it clicks, expand into an ongoing partnership. Deeper work spans product strategy, engineering leadership, board & founder advisory, and investor/portfolio diligence, plus the delivery work that actually moves the needle. Advisory-only works too.I keep a small client portfolio—contact me for availability. Start with a short brief (problem, desired outcome, timeline, who’s involved). Execution over reports; ongoing partnerships preferred. VC support: new-deal due diligence and recurring technical reviews of current investments.To network or explore new opportunities: adam@17solutionsllc.comBusiness Consulting · Project Management · Strategic Planning · Product Leadership & Development · Systems Engineering · Security (SOC 2) · Operations · Due Diligence (VC) & Portfolio Technical Reviews
