Growing teams don't need another platform. They need the next decision shipped.
Fractional product and delivery leadership for B2B teams with complex workflows, regulated constraints, or messy stacks. Roadmap, scope, and working software — without a programme team.
Growing product and ops teams still run critical work on spreadsheets and inboxes.
Below a certain headcount, enterprise vendors cost too much and large consultancies move too slowly. Onboarding, reporting, integrations, and vendor feeds stay manual. The team spends the week on rows instead of priorities.
e7n delivers one scoped outcome at a time, with the people who run the work.
Engagements
Fractional product leadership, delivery sprints, and targeted build work for B2B teams and regulated operators. Senior delivery without a programme team.
- Ship the workflow
Workflow and ops delivery
Reconciliation, onboarding, reporting, vendor feeds, and other manual loops rebuilt as auditable pipelines with exception queues — in fintech, ops-heavy SaaS, or regulated B2B.
- Connect the stack
Platform and data integration
CRM, ERP, data vendors, internal APIs, and legacy systems. Data moves on a schedule with schemas, retries, monitoring, and a clear audit trail.
- Replace the spreadsheet
Internal tools and dashboards
Research portals, ops consoles, PM views, compliance dashboards. Built for the team that uses them, not a generic vendor roadmap.
- Prove it first
Delivery sprints
Two-week fixed-fee sprint: working prototype or scoped slice plus a short plan for the next step. Decide on a full build after you have seen it run.
- Senior, on tap
Fractional product and delivery lead
Monthly retainer for teams that need senior product, project, and engineering leadership without a new hire. Roadmap, milestones, delivery, and pairing with your team.
Representative work.
Selected results across fintech, banking, exchanges, and B2B product teams. Client names withheld where required.
- 65% faster
Pre-trade risk at a Tier-2 bank
Delivered a pre-trade risk layer during a core banking and EMS integration. Order-to-confirmation time fell 65%. Controls and audit evidence stayed in place for compliance sign-off.
- Hundreds of hours / yr
Daily fixed-income reporting at a global exchange
Automated a daily fixed-income reporting workflow. Removed hundreds of manual hours per year and set the pattern for further reports.
- 17 venues
Smart order router programme
Led roadmap and delivery for derivatives trading technology across Tier-1 bank clients, including multi-venue SOR and related algo capabilities.
- Note issuance growth
Private credit investment platform
Owned product metrics and a strategic origination integration that supported note issuance growth and material recurring revenue on the platform.
How an engagement runs.
Three steps, no programme overhead. A fixed-fee sprint can start within two weeks of the discovery call.
- 01
Discovery call (30 min)
A focused conversation to understand the initiative, constraints (compliance, data, vendors, stakeholders), and the highest-value first move. No deck.
- 02
Delivery sprint (2 weeks, fixed fee)
A scoped, fixed-fee sprint that ships a working slice — workflow, integration, tool, or prototype — plus a short written plan for the next iteration.
- 03
Continue or hand off
Roll into a monthly retainer for the next priority, or close out cleanly with working software, runbooks, and no sunk cost.
One senior operator, accountable end-to-end.
e7n is Owen Perry, an independent product and delivery lead. Fifteen years inside trading, exchange, and fintech platforms (NASDAQ, Broadridge, Itiviti, FactSet, Tradeteq) — now fractional product leadership, project delivery, and targeted build work for teams of 5–50 that need the next bet shipped.
You work with the person who scopes and ships the work. One engagement at a time, fixed scope, clear handover.
